lyrics

Kate:
A show for the searchers, a show for the lost
A show without answers, a show without cost
A show that will challenge, a show for the strange
A show that can hurt you, where you won't be the same

Marjolein:
Your shtick is odd

Kate:
So is the show

Marjolein:
Do you recommend it?

Kate:
Maybe... no

Marjolein:
You don't even recommend the thing you sell

Kate:
I don't know, it changed my life, but well,
While in the end, I think the change was good
It wasn't pleasant and, I wonder should
I pitch it do even I have the right
To interfere in other peoples’ lives?
It rarely works, and the show’s intense
And usually, it simply leaves a mess
I’m just not sure this kind of thing’s for me
I think perhaps maybe I should just leave


Kate:
Days revolve and days remain
Days that stray it's the season of change
Days are stranger than the strange
Ages wane it's the season of change

Marjolein:
Days revolve and days they remain
Days and days stray it's the season of change
Days are stranger, stranger than strange
Ages they wane it's the season of change


Kate:
I'm Kate

Marjolein:
My name is Marjolein
My life, I think could use a change
I've nothing, and I've even less to lose
I'm all alone I thought that when I moved
Away from my whole small and crappy town
And family, things would maybe turn around
And life is different here, it's different but
I'm all alone, never meet anyone

I'm shy and nervous and I question what
I'm doing and then I go and screw it all up
And being trans was a problem in the crappy town I grew up in
So I don't know how to meet people or socialize
So I hide and I read and I'm nervous and scared and then, well,
I just end up feeling really bad about myself
Cause I suck and I'm useless and I'm lost and I know

Ok chill out Marjolein, take it slow
Don't lose it, just breathe and wait
Don't lose it, it'll be ok


Kate:
Days revolve and days remain
Days that stray it's the season of change
Days are stranger than the strange
Ages wane it's the season of change

Marjolein:
Days revolve and days they remain
Days and days stray it's the season of change
Days are stranger, stranger than strange
Ages they wane it's the season of change


Kate:
You poor thing, I wish that I could help
I could, but only if the show goes well
It could change your entire life
Or it could hurt you, I don't know if I
Should interfere at all or have the right
To roll the dice with you and your sweet life
The only thing of which I'm really sure
Is I don't wanna do this anymore

So take this ticket, only if you want
I'm going to go, it's time that I set off
See some worlds, try some different foods
Go and pet and hug a dog or too
You should keep walking, I'm not kidding but
If you think you're really desperate enough
Go ahead, walk in and try your luck
The caravan will soon set off...

Marjolein:
What an odd conversation

Kate:
We're strange kinds of girls
But I hope that you find all you need in this world

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
