lyrics

Jill:
Pillow talk at 1 am
Fingers holding close
Marjolein:
Intimate admissions
With eye contact and no clothes

Jill:
I worry now for everyone
For Asha and the gang
I fill my time with futile tasks
To keep away the pain

Marjolein:
I try to learn and to become
But think I’m just a fake
I worry I will never be
Worth the time they take

Sarah, she’s so competent
So sure and then there’s me
Bumbling through everything
I seem but never be

Jill: Pillow talk at 1 am
Marjolein: Fingers holding close
Jill: Intimate admissions
Marjolein: With eye contact and no clothes

Jill:
Marjolein you’re wonderful
You’re more than what you think
In time you’ll gain the confidence
I wish that I could give

I feel I’m manic pixie dream girl
Wandering through life
Gaze at shiny objects
To distract my frightened mind

I bring the fun but never bond
I’m lonely, sometimes cry
The playhouse gangs the only ones
I feel are ever mine

Marjolein:
I’m lonely too, for being trans
The place I was brought up
Was difficult, and here’s
The only chance for home I’ve got

Jill:
Pillow talk at 1 am
Fingers holding close
Marjolein:
Intimate admissions
With eye contact and no clothes


Lloyd:
Is our new dream stumbling
And I can just not see
It seemed like we had joy
Another love another dream

The coldness and the anger
For a minute disappeared
It seemed we could recapture
What we lost back then to tears

Raven:
I keep the manicness at bay
I keep my sanity
I hold to you so tight
Maybe I feel you cannot breath

Paradise was lost
And our hearts broken but you know
We can’t ignore the darkness
That is building even so

Jill:
You know I saw Sarah in this nearby strand. Coming out of this theatre in the dead of night.

Marjolein:
Maybe she went to see a show?

Jill:
No. It was like she was rehearsing. Something very demanding, she looked really, what’s the word, expended? Like she’d been sweating something fierce.

Marjolein:
I wanted to try to talk to her privately, try to ease the tension that’s been building. Away from all this. If you can tell me where, I’ll go there and try to talk to her. Somewhere Lloyd and Raven aren’t around. Maybe calm things down.
Jill: Good idea.

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
