Delia's TED Talk (Delia) [2015 Cut Song]

by Eddie Perfect

on Beetlejuice: The Demos The Demos The Demos (2020)

[DELIA]
Hello, hello
And welcome to my TED Talk
My name is Delia and it's nice to see so many faces
Out there in the crowd

[SPOKEN]
How you feeling Idaho?
Well, that's great

[SUNG]
Do you ever feel the universe is cold and lonely?
And nobody cares if you live or if you die
And what's the point of even trying
When you're only destined for disappointment
Well, I was once like you

[SPOKEN]
It's true

[SUNG]
I was once like you

This is the part where I screwed up my TED Talk
My slides wеre out of order
So I panicked, droppеd my notes
And then I heard some people laugh
And had a full-blown panic attack

Ran off the stage
Cried for forty minutes
Too scared to leave my dressing room
In case somebody saw me and said
"Hey, aren't you that crazy lady?"

See, I was just like you, Lydia
I was just like you

Then somebody knocked on the door
So I yelled, "Go away!"
But I guess they ignored me
'Cause this person came in anyway
This guy, he seemed so calm
Although we had never met
He held me in his arms
Eventually, he said

"I was once like you
I know all about sad
Yes, I was once like you"
That person was your dad
