lyrics

Jill:
So our story now my friends, it is coming to an end
Though a few things still remain to tidy up
The time that follows is quite hard, but we’re going to skip that part
And a few years down the line pick our tale up

Raven’s carnival is here, he spends all of his time there
While Lloyd is aimless pondering what to do
The temple where Asha had been will try to heal her once again
And as for Michael, he’s embraced his life anew…

…

Michael:
I was quite clear those toys had better be picked up before you even think about getting that snack. Do not g... Do not give me the cute eyes little money child… I swear you have me wrapped around your little fing… oh that's the door. Lloyd!

Lloyd:
Michael! It's wonderful to see you.

Michael:
You're a sight for sore eyes. It's been some years.

Lloyd:
It has been a few years.

Michael:
I hope the journey wasn't too hard.

Lloyd:
It is difficult.

Michael:
I'm nervous about taking Son Mi. Son, say hello to your uncle Lloyd.

Lloyd:
Well hello there. You are a wonderful little girl. Look how big you are.

Michael:
I thought Isabela was dead wrong not to tell David about his daughter.

Lloyd:
He’s… spiralling. I think having her in his life, even in a small capacity could really help ground him. And she’s old even to make the journey.

Michael:
I still think it's a bit dangerous, I'm not entirely comfortable. But… it's just the two of us here for years now, and.. my own childhood was pretty lonely. I think she could use some extended family.

Lloyd:
We’ll both accompany her. I'm sure it’ll be fine.

…

Jill:
But alas the journey home will not go quite as they hoped
There are things out there quite dangerous I must say
Lloyd is killed and Michael harmed, he believes his daughter gone
But into a strange new narrative, she strays

And Lloyd’s soul, I tell you all, was caught and placed into a doll
Where for decades in frustration there he stays
And Michael howls in grief, for Lloyd and for little Son Mi
We will catch back up to them again one day

Sometimes I dream magazines, smiling starlets
Glamour and haze how they wave from days that are now long since swept
Dazzle and shine, lost lives once upon a memory
Till sad old ladies alone in a dark home is all that is left

Sometimes I dream magazines, smiling starlets

Marjolein:
Glamour and haze how they wave from days that are now long since swept

Jill & Marjolein:
Sparkle and shine, lost lives once upon a memory
Till sad old ladies alone in a dark home is all that is left

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
