1. OpeningHelen:
There a desert where a carnivale
hungry roams round and prowls
waits to feed but lets not speak of this now
A frontier town past the desert rests
here in the queer and quite weird west
lets stroll its street as the sun creeps on down
10. The Beginning Of The EndHelen:
Wow! ladies and gentlemen, Henry The Alchemist!
Han-Mi:
Great job henry. that was fantastic
Henry:
Thanks, guys. But Han i know you see something i don’t. Could you tell me please?
11. SeductionThe Sheriff:
I want you, i want you just one time
Just to know you, just to feel your skin on mine
I want you, to feel your breath and feel your lips
Just to taste you, you and i and just one kiss
Coil and wind
with me our limbs entwined
12. Dream A DreamHan-Mi:
Dream a little dream
Dream a little dream
Dream a little dream with me
Dream a little dream
All's not as it seems
Dream a little dream with me
13. FinaleHelen:
I built this show from ground on up
worked so hard to make it run
stressed each week from opening to encore
A theater troupe back a long while
had came through town, made Shira smile
It made her stick around a while more
3. The SheriffThe Sheriff:
And the sun comes up
along the eastern desert
where the wild men ride
bring trouble in their wake
And there ain't much sense
when love and death come riding
or the code you find to face yourself each day
4. Han-Mi Sings An IntroHan-Mi:
When your dreams drifted long out to sea
and the shoreline is black as can be
you could turn to the girl next to you drowning too
come ashore then once more
she'd find comfort in you
Over and over in you
tangled together you’d
5. Miss HelenHelen:
Out in the desert on the outskirts of town
every few years a carnival comes round
They say that it beckons til one soul comes then
it takes them and leaves and they're not seen again
The weeks when our mom wouldn't get out of bed
me and Shira would eat chocolate, berries and bread
6. InterludeHelen:
Oh look, here comes the sheriff! He and his deputy Henry The Alchemist are coming to investigate reports of trouble
Sheriff:
Greetings Miss Helen. It looks like there's been some trouble with the stagecoach and Henry and i...
Helen:
You mean the doctors place
7. Han MiHan-Mi:
The queen of crime is brooding in her lair
puffing kiseru and plotting her dark ways
They think she wants to scowl
and watch the world burn down
but she just wants to watch him save the day
I like the role of queen of vice and crimelord
8. Interlude 2Helen:
I know a few things about sanity's brink
when you can't trust all you think
Han-Mi:
I know there's a place, a place i belong, in the carnival sing me a carnival song
Helen:
9. Henry The AlchemistHenry:
My town of vulture rock was quiet, i was young my science
was my favorite thing since i was shy and awkward and cute guys i just
could not talk to
I got so confused
til Evan came along
Alchemy is quite my thing, when solubles are transforming
A1 S2 New Albion 9Mascot 3000:
There’s a city it is said that borders with the land of dead
And since you’re here again, you best just stay
New Albion’s its name, a sleek and large and lonely place
And a tale of it we tell today
Two decades now it’s been since a voodoo religion
A1 S3 Rachael Rachael:
One day the walls will fall away
and in the open air i'll race
your rooms, your pills, your white restraints
you will choke on them i pray
the smug scratch of your pen
A1 S4 Introducing the Mascot 3000 Mascot 3000:
Rachael flees the mad house
runs into the evening breeze
she doesn't know it now
but she is heading straight for me
beyond the gates, an old man waits
A1 S4 The PitchAnnouncer:
Come with us dear listener, as we go backwards in time, just a few years, to when John O’Brien was just a regular citizen, like you, enjoying a few drinks at his local pub as had become his ever increasing habit.
Guy:
Hey there buddy, you’re lookin’ down. Say, you’re John O’Brien, aren’t you? Ah, jeez fellow, i heard about what happened to your wife. Those damn rebels and their bombs, got no respect for law and order. Who, me? Well look here, i’ll level with ya. It’s a damn shame to see a guy with your potential drink himself away like this is all. Yeah, you. We think you gotta lot of potential. That’s right, i’m from the government and i’m here to help. I gotta propisition for ya.
Things have got you down you don’t know where to run
A1 S5 Daddy Left
Child on screen:
Past the world, past the night, past the stars where sea birds fly
Past your dreams to toyland’s shore, where we will meet again once more
John:
I sat beside your bed on the night before i left
While you slept i had my say
A1 S5 the Shopogopolis Rachael:
Day by day by day by day
Day by day by day by day
Deep inside we hide away
As day fades into day by day
Mascot 3000:
A1 S6 The OperationPA:
Please exit the bunker, take the red pill, and report for active duty
John:
Wade in the night to dance the wild ballet the brutal fray
Wade in the night to lost yourself inside the feral fight
Wade in the night embrace the unrestrained, the cruel ballet
A1 S6 What the Trite and banal say Rachael:
Someday soon i'll crumble
someday soon i'll fall
my sanity i see
now will not hold for very long
i hear the song of madness
A2 S1 New Albion 8The Mascot 3000:
A generation it has been since the civil war ended and the city’s in a golden age
Religion’s back my friends, the Voodoopunks well they have spread uniting our dear city once again
There’s a tech boom bursting forth led by the great Arcadia Corp which the Voodoopunks have built and own
Great new technologies it’s led, like tablets with consciousness but their true purpose only now unfolds
Project Elysium, my friends, is the V P’s great vision and its culmination’s soon to come
A2 S2 KyrieVoodoopunks:
Dollay dollay, dollay dollay, dollay dollay oh
Kyrie eleison in the dream we've waited for
Kyrie eleison on Elysium's far shore
Kyrie eleison to where heaven's city waits
A2 S3 Connor Connor:
When the garden you tend dies
and the doors which lead inside
are locked and those who try
to talk their way in, lie
We were young, we were in love
A2 S3 The Soiree Constance:
It’s a dance in the city with the dames dolled up all pretty
And they’re feeling fine and frisky tonight
And the beaus in their clothes with boots and tuxes, ties and bows
Getting flirty, smiling dirty all right
It’s a high class soiree, a hint of culture, tint of gay
The refined are lined to come out and play
A2 S4 The Bust Thomas:
Do you have it?
Constance:
Got it right here. Hang on, i’ll be back in a second…
Constance:
Run like the hunted
A2 S4 The Lovers
Adrian, Lee and the Voodoopunks:
Dollay dollay, dollay dollay, dollay dollay oh
Mascot 3000:
Arcadia’s devised a way to open wide a door away
A2 S5 The DeceitMascot 3000:
Lee and Adrian have hatched a wild plan to trick his dad
And he’ll stop his mad attacks, and their funding will come back
That Lee’s possessed they will pretend, his mind captive and thus when
Project Elysium again is restored they will ascend
VPs:
A2 S5 The Underground Announcer:
And so, hunted and devoid of option, Constance heads to the tunnels beneath the city
Choir:
The quiet the lost, the halls forgot
The slouching engines growl
The long, dark land, the lost enchant
In the under, in the underground
A2 S6 The Wasteland Constance:
Angry adolescents with no parents left
Hang out all night sharpening their attitudes and smoking cigarettes
Laugh and howl and cry until the room spins
Hang on to Katy, all i know is tomorrow night i’ll do it all again
In the wasteland
Where the ashes, ashes all fall down from worlds that could never stand
A2 S7 Ark 1 Remaining Arcadia Corp Skeleton Team:
"Homebase to Ark I. This is Homebase to Ark I. Please report on transmigration."
Connor:
And on the day we come it’s over
I have a warrant here to shut this down
A2 S7 The Discussion 2 Thomas:
And if you stay calm i can help you…
Constance:
You must be glad now you finally found me
Lord knows what they offered you to rat
I just want to know when did they turn you, when’d you go?
How long’d you plan to stab me in the back?
A2 S9 The Substation Announce:
After using her ex boyfriend as a vessel for spirit possesion and showing off a few of their potent, hypnotic songs of the dead they’ve collected over the years, with which they hope to use to end the war, the Voodoopunks finally guide Constance to the substation where she can at last drop off the device that has caused her so much trouble.
Constance:
Boys now please don’t freak i brought this stupid M C G
I’ve had a long and really hellish day
Take it and go do whatever you think you have to
I want this bloody thing far away
A3 S1 Elysium 1 The Mascot 3000:
Tales left untold on a trail that’s gone cold in a hearth where the fire’s gone to sleep
Wishes unwished by a sad, sweet abyss who’s in love with the tears that you weep
The girl who’s returned from eternal sojourns who arrives just before she has left
She kisses you twice before leaving that night but like always again you forget
Elysium Elysium
A3 S2 Postcards From Perdition Trail Voodoopunks:
The day two decades hence we came
it went to hell here straight away
you won’t stay sane if we explain
the vein of Lovecraft porn we face
A card we’d love to send
A3 S2 The Best Of Times A book store a fair, a music hall, park everywhere i went i saw her
At a circus run down on the outskirts of town we sat down and started talking
The hours stop, the days unwind, at a quarter to the best of times
In hindsight i wish the sweet painful bliss of seduction had drawn out longer
Cause we fell in fast, fell hard and the world spun past like a waltz that swept along us
The hours stop, the days unwind, at five to the best of times
A3 S3 LeeLee:
Blue light brings dreams dreams forgotten. Soft red on canvas lost and
sometimes reminds me of your eyes.
I came to paint it’s true and make it here with you
A dream on a leash in times gone by
With blind delight we came, unknown to hell’s wild rage
A3 S4 Rachael Returns Mascot 3000:
The portal to Elysium opens for a flash
The first time in two decades, and Rachael and i pass
Through to where a argged group awaits us with surprise
Their leader, Yasser Latef, greets us with a smile
A3 S5 Reunion Lloyd:
And so Jacqueline and Thomas step out into a city lain to waste. Everyone in sight is swaying mindlessly to the hypnotic song of the dead.
The only sane people they find are Constance and her father John who look happy and serene. Having not seen each other in years, John and Jackie, brother and sister reunite.
John:
We never call on birthdays
Jackie:
A3 S5 The MothLee:
You cannot win the long, hard race with time.
With burdens borne on you, you cannot rise
And what you’ve loved you cannot recognize
When it’s after, all that mattered
The moth cannot be as before cocooned
A3 S6 Storyville Station Constance:
The girl felt scared and so unsure
The tales they told, the thousand doors
She saw the wolf in the forest and bed
And thought “it’s better to be a wolf instead”
So she buys a ticket to Storyville Station
Where pages enfold the lost ones taken
A3 S6 The Show No One SawRachael:
What a show you missed they say
The clowns have come to tear down the play
The comedy where no one laughed
And no one came, and no one clapped
It borke down the last mile and the one time they smiled
A3 S7 FinaleAnnouncer:
And so… I can’t narrate this. Come on, Jackie, you mean to tell me Constance just sings another song and it dispels the first?
Jackie:
Yes, how else were we going to…
Announcer:
That’s stupid.
A3 S8 New Albion 6 Announcer:
Although John O’Brien died on the Blvd. of Cryers
He took the city forces with him to the other side
The rebels over ran a defenseless Parliament
But then turned on each other so no government now stands
On Cryers Blvd that day, there were some who walked away
After Constance sang they dropped their guns though why no one can say
A4 S1 The Mascot 3000 Mascot 3000:
When i woke
When the spark of light ignited and i saw
The sweet numeric cascades that encase and paint the world
When i woke
To the carbon creatures peering in my face
With their questions, tests, delight and yet i missed a soft embrace
A4 S2 In Thus EpisodeMascot 3000:
I hope the world is like my sci fi magazines
Zip Morgan treks the galaxy like in issue twenty three
Inside a hive of snake men lay the last
Memory of their star
Although he won’t escape with it
Until issue twenty four
A4 S3 The Rescue PlanLee:
Why’d you try to face them? You should have died today and
I know i’ve been so cold unkind
I mourn the joy i lost. I miss the boy i loved
I felt betrayed again, maligned
Angel of mercy spare just one second for me
A4 S4 The Creatures Speak Rachael:
I can’t understand them
Mascot 3000:
I can translate
A4 S5 Connor Reprise Connor:
It’s so long that i await
This deep breath and this fair day
All the plans that i have made]but at last my son is safe
If an AI he must be
As long as he is here with me
A4 S6 Lost Nights LullabyeRachael:
It's another endless night
It’s another strange delight
it's one lost night's lullaby
It’s another warning sign
It’s another half spent time
A4 S7 New Albion 10The Mascot 3000:
So thirty souls from the beyond return to dear New Albion
As a new computer speicies but
The Voodoopunks my friends, well they never rise again
their tale i'm quite afraid is done
though i love you all my dears, i'm afraid the time is here
AlexanderAlex:
Meanwhile, in my neck of the woods, some of my boy come by to say they think they found a guy who might know a little something about a problem we been having with some of our bootleg Dolls going missing.
Thugs:
We gotta mister, we gotta bird who call
we gotta problem we gotta thief who's stealing our Dolls
we gotta mister, we think who knows a few things
we got some ways to make a silent bird wanna sing
Beyond The FogMother:
Singe with me child as the day grows long
And stardust fills your eyes
Sing with me child of the love never lost
Your mother’s lullabye
Timothy:
I thought the teddy bears said this was the true reality
Chilling At The Motel 6Timothy:
And so most nights she stops by
the Motel 6 where i’m holed up
we sit out front in two plastic chairs
that face the parking lot
the nights pass kind of pleasant
we drink some beer and smoke a pack
EntropyResidents In The West Wing:
The bones that beat against their mere meat cages
They rot and plot and try arrays of escapes but
They fly from entropy to fantasia
Camped in a land between discord and arrangement
Whispers from corners that you dare not engage with
Fly me from entropy to fantasia
Happy Birthday, Love Zoe(Zoe walks into the Psych Ward where Reina has been for the last several years)
Zoe:
I know your heart was torn away
so lost you fell apart that day
and i know you can’t hear me say
I’ve gone across a distant sea
Inside The House(Zoe/Timothy trudge through the bizarre place)
Zoe:
(humming)
Timothy:
What are you doing?
IV7 We Bid You All Adieu(Narrator enters)
NARRATOR:
The revolution that rises has stories for another time
Our tale for this evening comes to a close
So we bid adieu to our players and of course you
We hope this little history lesson we’ve shown
JordanI
So at last Slender Man eye to eye here we stand
Girl to beast, lash to teeth
With whip in hand i grasp you are mine at last
Let’s play game: do you feel pain?
And as i tear your flesh all bare what will i find down deep in there
Are those you snare in there somewhere?
Life On The RunTimothy:
They taste each tear that you feel
The hounds let loose on your trail
The months and miles meander across the estranged and crooked maze i’ve fled
Across back end roads when jobs pay low ‘til it finds me once again
I might stay days or weeks somewhere. I might almost make a friend
For a few drink, for five minutes, til i’m down the road again
MotherMother:
Come and kiss your mother
It’s been a long time come
Since your species up and left me
Ah, but i don’t hold a grudge
My sweets, i am the mother
Of all of your sad kind
My sweet satin baby, two tickets are waitingThomas:
My sweet satin baby, two tickets are waiting
We’ll toast on the coast far from this town
Constance:
Tonight when all the lights hit the ballroom
And the shakers and the quakers twirl round
And one of them conceals a small case we’ve been hired to steal
PossessionZoe:
I must possess you, I must crawl under your skin
access, ingress you, you must let me in
i must enter circumvent you , ride your body wear your skin
just open up, embrace me and let me dwell within
I’ve been working up to tell you but it seems we’re out of time
there’s a detail left unmentioned… I am not quite alive
Return Of The LibrariansTimothy:
Why’d she stop?
Is that the teddy bears?
Zoe:
Oh i HATE the teddy bears
Timothy:
SamuelSamuel:
For my mother, my sister, and for you, Jordan
Sing with me child as the day grows long and stardust fills your eyes
Sing with me child of the love enver lost, your mother’s lullabye
There’s langue it’s speaking, some terrible tongue
In this creature’s cries
The Abbey 2Jordan:
The time may come when you may see
places you may not believe
out beyond there where the wisest will not leave
And on the day that you arrive
out the world’s other side
we are here, the few, the mad, the watching eyes
The BarTimothy:
Well now three years have come and gone since i’ve been here on the run
And one night this long, dark road leads to pocatello, Idaho
Round abouts it’s Friday night, it’s kind of hopping here with life
So despite myself i think i’ll go ahead and grab a drink
Some preacher on the street’s all whipped up in some kind of heat
Preacher:
The Coal That Sings HosannaAlice:
The wishes that the drop might wish
Before the brush’s bristled kiss
But in the end, expectation is a liar
Into scenes at last is spread
A splash of white, a spot of red
On a canvas grand and awful shall expire
The HuntMother:
What game shall we play today?
Oh, i know. It’s variation of The Hunt, called Survive An Hour.
Time to begin my sweet. Ready, set, go.
…
(Timothy runs. The hunt is on.)
The LibrariansThe Residents:
Falling round the falling round the falling round the fringe
Losing what you thought you knew but never really did
Falling round the falling round the falling round the fringe
Peeling back the layers that were placed there inch by inch
Samuel:
A banshee’s dream, for days it seems
The Time At LastSamuel:
I almost see, i’ve peeled beneath
the droning tones, know what they mean
Oh Jordan, if you just were here with me
Its cries i’ve saved upon this tape
and backwards half speed i will play it,
somewhere here some meaning it must lay
The VoodoopunksVoodoopunks:
Mortus re-de-unte ad nos
reditum ad can-ta-re
Mortus re-de-unte ad nos
reditum ad sal-ta-re
Dollay oh oh we come dollay
Dollay oh oh we come dollay
The War BelowAlex:
Winter comes and if i stay
the cartel i rule will be wiped away
and all its business falls and comes to naught
In the spring with you in this place
we'll build the only thing of grace
i've ever touched and let my empire rot
WaitingLloyd:
And now, a very special word from our sponsor.
Folks
Welcome back to the 3rd and final act of our special broadcast focusing on the crucial Battle of Crier’s Blvd which decided the outcome of the war.
We open hours after the events of Act 1 and 2. Jacqueline O’Brien sits in an islolated substation deep below the city with the captured Thomas.
Welcome To The Decadent AbbeyJordan:
A cup of tea made from a late nights spring kiss
not the worst thing youll drink and it gives a nice lift
Relax, a deep breath, it’s a long way youve come
out the walls of the world to the vague lands beyond
Our plan went just perfetct, we’ve readied for years
to capture a slender man passing through here
ZoeZoe:
It came in crashing and the thrashing
And i smashed the blender
where we made our smoothies right into its screaming face
And though it killed me it fled and left
My Reina there still standing
But her daughter Claire it grabbed and took away
