"In a Moment's Time" is the end credits theme from Skullgirls. It was composed by Michiru Yamane, with the lyrics sung in English by Geila Zilkha. Additionally, there is a Japanese version that exists as a 'bonus track' and replaces the English version in Japanese copies of the game.
The Glass Canopy stage originally had "In a Moment's Time" as a placeholder track before an official one was made. Reverting the stage's music back to "In a Moment's Time" was made possible on the PC version of Skullgirls from May 13, 2014 onwards if "ifearchange" is typed during the start-up logo screens. However, this setting saves, so once the user has completed the input, it cannot be changed back. A special instrumental version of the song was included with the PS4 theme for those who pre-ordered 2nd Encore and can be heard on the Skullgirls Original Soundtrack PLUS.
The song, upon closer inspection, is actually sung from the perspective of the Skull Heart attempting to seduce people into letting it grant their darkest desires. With them mocking whoever falls for its trap and boasts that nobody ever learns to not wish on it.
Lyrics[]
Why so down tonight?
Just another day that didn't go your way
Well don't you make a sight
Just take my hand, don't toss and turn
Let's just lie awake
In just a moment's time, you'll wonder why
You ever thought you'd ever long for more than you've got
'Cause, baby, you've got you and me
I'm gonna hold you tight, through the night
The bed bugs better hope that I don't bite
While you're counting sheep in your head
It's time to hit the sack--kapow! attack!
Smack those troubles down, KO, they're down
One, two, three A.M.
Or is it midnight still? The window sill's
A billion miles away
But your lucky star, he's here for sure
Down here 'neath the sheets
The world is yours to conquer, won't be long, dear
I'm the king and you're the pawn, we're a perfect pair
Girl, you made the right mistake
Choose me instead of constant heartbreak
Now let's raise the stakes
Go on, you earned it
Ask for any wish, I'm on it
Grant it word for word, I promise
Baby, that's the charm!
You got it made, yeah
Don't you be a flake
In just a moment's time, you'll wonder why
You ever thought you'd ever long for more than you've got
'Cause, baby you've got you and me
[Piano Break]
Buckle up tonight
You wanna get away, forget it, baby
Got you in my sights!
Ain't in the cards! They don't ever learn!
Hell, for heaven's sake!
In just a moment's time, you'll wonder why
You ever thought you'd ever long for more than you've got
'Cause, baby, you've got you and me
