lyrics

Helen:
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

Soon we come to the saloon
let us stop, shots they are calling our name
pray we must stay, we've come on quite a day
Miss Helen's one pace from disgraced cabaret

Look round the towns all here and more
werewolves recline upon the floor
all is at last more like now than before

Tonight things that circle wait and prey
crouch far enough away, lets play
with your heart see what it takes it to break

The light dies upon our pale lives
as it rises right now on the stage
settle back in with your glass full of gin
for Miss Helen's one pace from disgraced cabaret


And now the cast who appears tonight in our torrid tales of intrigue and delight
i am hannah and i shall guide you through accounts from our dear town which we'll regale to you

every tale a hero must appear, and our sheriff, rugged true and brave is here
this week once again he will face friends i fear

The queen of crime, the sinister Han Mi, whose exotic webs of intrigue and deceit
What dark oriental magic she brings to us from the east

"Ah yes, the tired dragon lady trope again. Come see Han Mi, the lazy racist caricature from a small minded, bigoted, ignorant ass hat of a writer..."


" haha... let's stick to the script this week.."


"And of course my friends we cannot forget our Alchemist friend and secrets that he tends
our curtain has risen come join us my friends

Our town's like an address to an orgy
for tired tropes and pulp stories
gaze on the floor once more as they writhe and engage

Your heart has such sublime ache
an iconic role you'll make, stay
one day you'll appear with us here on the stage

And say, in this saloon those still sane
unite here each week for a play
Let’s all drink a shot Of whatever you’ve got
for Miss Hannah’s not quite yet disgraced Cabaret

about

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
