"Pour Me Home" was not in the 1986 production either (or at least I'm fairly sure it wasn't.) You can also see that "Something of this masquerade may follow" had yet to be written. "Masquerade" I believe was actually the last song Jim and Ray wrote together, which I believe was written because they needed a closing song for the 1986 production. > I posted this in the Facebook group but some people aren't > on there so I'm cross-posting it here. > > This past weekend I visited the special collections > library at NYU.
