Haddonfield (Fifteen Years Later) is an original song written for the second season of Smash. Although the song was rejected by executives, and never actually made it on air, the song is still an existential component for the musical of Hit List. The song was written by Joe Iconis, the same writer of Broadway, Here I Come!. The song has only been performed at 54 Below when Hit List was performed there.
In the context of Hit List, the number is the marker for when The Diva, now back to her original identity of Sara Smith, begins to unravel becoming more deranged. Joe Iconis said the inspiration for this song came from the Halloween theme. It was written by Jimmy Collins and was possibly first performed at the Manhattan Theatre Workshop with Ana Vargas as The Diva, although that is just speculation.
Lyrics[]
I have been away so long
Been afraid to show my face
But I'm a man, now I am strong
So I'm returning to the place
Neighbors still all look the same
They peer from back behind a drape
To them, I do not have a name
I'm not a girl, I'm just a shape
Haddonfield
Fifteen years later
Welcome home to me
I'm not healed
But I'm something greater
I'm free
I'm almost free
I went back to the old, old house
It was crumbling like a grave
I think about your flowered blouse
Wish I wasn't still your slave
I see a girl, she looks like you
She walks swiftly, I pursue
If I can't get you back today
I'm gonna make this whole town pay
Haddonfield...
I'm not healed...
Haddonfield
Fifteen years later
I think I fin'lly see
You've revealed
I am a traitor
Who'll never be free
'Til she comes home
'Til she comes home
'Til the night that she comes home
To me
Welcome home
Welcome home
Welcome home to me
Welcome home
Welcome home
Welcome home to me
Welcome home!
Welcome home!
Welcome home to me!
Welcome home!
Welcome home!
Welcome home to me!
Welcome home to me!
