011 Noodle Hair (국수 머리)

Title: Noodle Hair (국수 머리) [Intro - Glockenspiel, alarm clock. Groan.] [Verse 1 - Dramatic] Alarm screams at 7 AM I open my eyes, I try to stand But something's pulling from my head Oh no, oh no, not again My hair last night was smooth and straight Now it looks like instant ramen on a plate One strand went east, one strand went west The rest decided to build a nest [Boing! Boing!] [Pre-chorus - Panic building] I tried a brush — it disappeared I tried a hat — the hat just cheered I tried a ponytail so high My hair laughed and punched the sky [Chorus - Explosive, theatrical] Noodle hair, noodle hair 날 붙잡지 마 Noodle hair, noodle hair 길을 비켜라 One strand grabs the coffee cup Another ties my shoelaces up I step outside, the wind blows strong And now my hair sings its own song! [Whoosh! Twang!] [Verse 2 - Public disasters] On the bus, a child points and cries "Mommy, why is her hair alive?" A pigeon flew in — never flew out Now my hair has a new scout At work, my boss tries to speak My hair writes notes on his cheek I try to bow, I try to hide My hair just waves and says "goodbye" [Crowd gasp, then laugh] [Pre-chorus - Desperate] I ran to the bathroom, locked the door My hair reached under, grabbed the floor It pulled me back, it dragged me down I was a prisoner in my own crown [Chorus - Louder, chaotic] Noodle hair, noodle hair 날 붙잡지 마 Noodle hair, noodle hair 길을 비켜라 One strand stole my credit card Another wrote a text to my ex (WHAT?!) I stepped outside, the sun went dark My hair escaped and made a spark! [Spark! Crackle! Crowd screams laughing] [Bridge - Despair, then soft] I walked through fire, I walked through rain I even tried a hair serum from Spain Nothing worked, I lost the fight So I went home at midnight [Pause. Piano note. Door opens. Warm light.] [Soft interlude - Warm strings] Then I saw them standing there My girls, my loves, my messy pair They didn't laugh, they didn't stare They just pulled a chair [Heartwarming section - Slow, emotional] They took the tangles one by one A little oil, a little sun They didn't fight the wild, you see They just said "You're still you to me" [Soft brush strokes] [Final Chorus - Triumphant, warm] Noodle hair, noodle hair 이젠 괜찮아 Noodle hair, noodle hair 사랑이 왔어 The tangles loose, the knots untied My hair just rests, no need to hide I look in the mirror and I smile My noodle hair stayed wild — but mild [Outro - Soft, single voice, then laugh] They brushed my hair until I slept Not one complaint, not one regret Noodle hair, you crazy thing You almost broke me... but you didn't win. [Soft laugh. Crowd awws, then cheers.] [Soft brush stroke. Silence. Gong. Crowd erupts.]
