Ace As An Alien

Orchestrated by Madeleine Skye Ackley
Cast: Julius LaFlamme

The ants come across a high school jock named Brad who needs ants for his biology project, which is also an opportunity for them to befriend a human! However, Brad dumps the ants in a terrarium with his ant net and flicks them back every time they try to get out to greet him. The ants get a little suspicious because he doesn’t seem to like them. However, Electric still thinks Brad could be flirting with them, so he lovingly bites his ear before Brad agressively flicks him back and closes the lid to the terrarium for good. Brad furiously stomps to his apartment with his bloody ear.

Stupid Ants

Brad then takes the ants into his room. He gives a juicy cheeseburger to his girlfriend, Stacey, a skinny high school cheerleader, and complains about his biology project and his bloody ear. He warns her that the ants, especially Electric, will get to her cheeseburger. He then goes to the bathroom to clean off his bloody ear while Stacey is left alone high on weed on his bed watching TV with the cheeseburger in her hands.

The ants complain that Brad hasn’t fed them anything for “ant” minutes. They then notice that Meaty has escaped from the terrarium to get to Stacey’s cheeseburger. Electric attempts to get Meaty’s attention, but he then notices Stacey’s beauty. So, he makes a plan to flirt with her while all the other ants get to her cheeseburger. Electric crawls on her arm and up to her neck, where he whispers a bunch of sweet nothings to her. Stacey feels frightened at first, but she eventually falls in love with his smooth deep voice, which she is surprised to understand. She drops her hamburger at this point. Electric lovingly bites her ear, and then crawls away. Stacey is in awe from what just happened.

After Brad comes out of the bathroom, he notices that the ants are eating Stacey’s cheeseburger on the ground. He tries to kill them (though he only ends up killing Auntie) out of sheer disgust, regardless of needing them for his biology project. Stacey freaks out and fails to stop him from flushing the rest of the ants down the toilet. She then gets into a bad argument with Brad, and confesses that Electric sparked a fire in her that she never had in her relationship. She breaks up with him, and tries to find Electric in the sewer.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
I’ve always been told to watch out for the bad boys
Yet I was naive and innocent 
You gave me the world and I gave you my heart
Oh you left me with words that were so intense

You were breathing out fire
The smoke of desire

Chorus 1:
I think I’ve fallen
I’ve fallen for a dragon (2x)

(Hah-hah)

Verse 2:
I let you take a hold of me
Yet I couldn’t break it if I tried
You got me locked up in chains and restraints 
Oh how could someone so cruel make me feel alive?

The night was a lion
All our roars were heightened

Chorus 2:
I think I’ve fallen
I’ve fallen for a dragon (2x)

I think I've
Fallen, fallen for a
Fallen, fallen I think I've
Fallen, fallen for a dragon
I think I've fallen

Bridge:
No need for a prince to save me
No need for his sword and shield 
I am freer inside your dungeon 
Just as long as I’m having fun

Chorus 3:
I think I’ve fallen
I’ve fallen for a dragon (2x)

I think I've
Fallen, fallen for a
Fallen, fallen I think I've
Fallen, fallen for a dragon
I think I've fallen
For a dragon
I think I've fallen
For a dragon

(Hah-hah)

I've Fallen for a Dragon

Lyrics:

Should I be the man
And take you out to coffee on a Saturday
Should I lead the way
And show you lots of places where we could lay
Right on the beach
The summer breeze
The sand that moves us in between our feet
Should I be the man
Or should I let the waves roll

Should I be the king
And you can be my queen we can do our dance
There’d be room for romance
Where we’d stare into each other’s eyes til we’re locked into a trance
We’re holding hands
Under the moon
Where we could talk for hours til we’re through
Should I be the man
Or should I let the waves roll

Should I let the waves roll
Should I let the waves roll
And let you take control only if you wanted to

They say that men are the ones who pursue
And the ladies are there to do what they do
But how can I find the love I’m looking for
If I always expect someone to pursue me

Should I be the man
And let you take a break from doing all the work
I’ll pay for the meals
And you can sit back as I enjoy your quirks
Your silly jokes
That fill the room
That allow our own friendship to bloom
Should I take that chance
Or should I let the waves roll

Should I let the waves roll
And let you take control only if you wanted to

They say that men are the ones who pursue
And the ladies are there to do what they do
But how can I find the love I’m looking for
If I always expect someone to pursue me

They say that men are the ones who pursue
And the ladies are there to do what they do
But how can I find the one I’m looking for
If I’m always expecting love to come my way

Should I be the man
At least for a day
Should I have the choice
To stop the voices from telling me no
You’ve got great looks
And a nice voice
Therefore you don’t need to go after boys
You should focus on yourself
And let the guy do the work

Should I Be The Man?

This is where I post all of my songs and compositions!
