    [Crutchie:]
    How are you? I'm okay
    Guess I wasn't much help yesterday
    Snyder soaked me real good with my crutch
    Oh yeah, Jack? This is Crutchie by the way
    These here guards, they is rude
    They say "jump boy, you jump or you're screwed!"
    But the food ain't so bad least so far, 'cause so far, they ain't brung us no food!
    Ha, ha
    I miss the rooftop
    Sleeping right out in the open
    In your penthouse in the sky
    There's a cool breeze blowin' even in July
    Any way, so guess what!
    There's this secret escape plan I've got!
    Tie a sheet to bed, toss the end out the window
    Climb down and take off like a shot!
    Maybe though, not tonight
    I ain't slept, and my leg still ain't right!
    But hey, Pulitzer! He's goin' down!
    Then Jack, I was thinking we might just go, like you was sayin'
    Where it's clean and green and pretty
    With no buildings in your way
    And your riding Palominos, every day!
    Once that train makes
    Damn this place
    I'll be fine. Good as new
    But there's one thing I need ya to do
    On the rooftop you said that a fam'ly looks out for each other
    So tell all the fellas from me, to protect one another!
    The end
    Your friend
    Your best friend
    Your brother
    Crutchie

    i don’t know if anyone’s noticed this, but ben’s version of a letter from the refuge is like a few notes higher than andrew’s (in the 2017 live newsies recording) and for some reason it just sounds more sad?? or more emotional??
