Duel Duet is a song from the film Shock Treatment, with lyrics and music by Richard O'Brien and Richard Hartley, released in 1981 on the film album.
Several songs from the film were originally written for Rocky Horror Shows His Heels, a never-made sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The songs were rewritten for the never-made The Brad and Janet Show and once again for Shock Treatment. Some of these songs also appeared in the 2015 musical Shock Treatment: The Musical.
Lyrics[]
Farley Flavors:
You're a loser
An abomination in the eyes of any sensitive man
Brad Majors:
And you're a blind alley cruiser
Always heading down a losing street
Dreaming that you're screaming at fate
You're a dead end, dead beat, nowhere Mister
With a kiss like a Mississippi alligator's sister
Farley:
I took as much of you as any man can!
You've lost your heart
Brad:
You've lost your cause
Farley:
You lost your baby
When you lost your balls
You lost your mind
You've lost your grip
So say bye-bye!
Brad:
We lost our Mom
We lost our Dad
And if I'm losing you
Well that's too bad
Farley:
Well the best thing you could ever do is die
Brad:
You're a failure
A malformation in the guise of many
An also ran
Farley:
And you're a weeper and a whiner!
Always treading on the toes of the great
Generally spreading your weight
You're a spiteful, hateful, assinine creature
A pupil with no scruples who's no better than the teacher
Brad:
I took as much of you as any man can
Farley:
You've lost your heart
Brad:
You've lost your cause
Farley:
You lost your baby
When you lost your balls
You lost your mind
When you lost your grip
So say bye-bye!
Brad:
We lost our home
Our family
You've lost compassion
Now you're losing me
Farley:
Well the best thing you could ever do is die
Brad:
Well the best thing you could ever do is die
Farley:
Well the best thing you could ever do is die
