lyrics

Sarah:
Marjolein, my dear, I see you’ve come to bow before my feet
I'm feeling generous my love, I know you think I'll kill you but
Instead, come join my empire for I've work for you inside my court
A lovely jester you would be, dance and sing and play for me

Marjolein:
I'm not afraid of you, you don't inspire my fear
You say you'll kill me but last I checked I’m standing here
You're just a little girl who can't get daddy's love
Afraid to think of mom, so from yourself you run and run

And I will survive you, I'll survive you
Watch your trauma drive you
I will survive you till the day you die alone

Sarah:
I’ll kill you!

Peek a boo, well I see you, where's my naughty cub
This little piggy went to town and I could eat her up
I catch you yet and rip your flesh, your bones will pick my teeth
Little piggy, Sarah comes, comes for you, my sweet

Marjolein:
I will survive you, I'll survive you
Will despise revile you
I will survive you till the day you die alone
I will survive you, I'll survive you
Feel my spite inside you
I will survive you till the day you die alone

Sarah:
Peek a boo, well I see you, where's my naughty cub
This little piggy went to town and I could eat her up
I catch you yet and rip your flesh, your bones will pick my teeth
Little piggy, Sarah comes, comes for you, my sweet

Marjolein:
I will survive you, I'll survive you
Will despise revile you
I will survive you till the day you die alone
I will survive you, I'll survive you
Feel my spite inside you
I will survive you till the day you die alone

What's happening?

Sarah:
I’ve opened a portal to a hellscape and it's sucking you in! Stupid girl, I gave you a chance. Buh bye Margie

Jill:
NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Comin with the love and the groove Marjolein I got you
A little rescue a little escape
I’ll try to fight her I’ll try to punch this bitch in the eye
And while I do you can get far away

I think you're out now but then this thing is sucking me in
I'm having trouble I think she might win
Marjolein you should flee, please get away as for me
I'm gonna see this thing through to the end

Marjolein, I will fall, I can't hold on, it's all...
It's all too strong I can't make it please don't
Please don't hold on to me, please just go and get free
Marjolein please just run let me go

Sarah:
Peek a boo, well I see you, where's my naughty cub
This little piggy went to town and I could eat her up
I catch you yet and rip your flesh, your bones will pick my teeth
Little piggy, Sarah comes, comes for you, my sweet

Jill:
Marjolein, let go of me, you'll get pulled in!

Marjolein:
I'm not leaving you!

Jill:
You have to get away, I can't break free!

Sarah:
It's over for you! Into the hellscape you go. Send me a postcard from the pit of despair! You lose, I win! Goodbye girls, in you go!

I did it! I did it! I beat them! I'm queen of the metaverse! I'm empress of reality! My loyal subjects, I can hear them... come! Come worship me! Worship me, my sweet children! I love you all! I love you my dear subjects! Your empress loves you!

Girl, you are a dream today
All your shame is wiped away
Girl, the world is your ballet
A brand new you, a brand new day

Girl, you are a dream today
All your shame is wiped away
Girl, the world is your ballet
A brand new you, a brand new day

Girl, you are a dream today
All your shame is wiped away
Girl, the world is your ballet
A brand new you, a brand new day

Michael:
We did it

Lloyd:
They're almost all inside. We did it. Now we just have to go and take care of Sarah.
Where is Sarah?

Michael:
I think she's over there, but… she looks like...

Lloyd:
What on earth is wrong with her?

Michael:
She looks like a... a

Lloyd:
Meat monster

Michael:
Yeah... A meat monster...

Lloyd:
The creature! From the story

Michael:
Penny Dreadful thing from when you were a kid...

Lloyd:
Yes, well she’s clearly trying to get into my head

Michael:
But why is she... doing that? Is... is she waving?

Lloyd:
Who is she waving to?

Michael:
She looks like shes... three bubbles away from fairyland

Lloyd:
Channelling that kind of power like she did... there have to be consequences

Michael:
So... what do we do with her?

...

Sarah:
Girl, you are a dream today
All your shame is wiped away
Girl, the world is your ballet
A brand new you, a brand new day

Girl, you are a dream today
All your shame is wiped away
Girl, the world is your ballet
A brand new you, a brand new day

Girl, you are a dream today
All your shame is wiped away
Girl, the world is your ballet
A brand new you, a brand new day

Empress we have come to guide you to your newest home
A palace grand where you can go and rule the world as you please
Your fans are ever cheering in your mind you are endearing
We don't wish to be appearing to object to your fair dream

The way is just down here you're gonna love it this we swear
You will be safe and free from fear and you can rule your days away
You all have done your part though this next bit will be quite hard
The time has come for us to part, we’ll take good care of her, have a good day

Rats in teddy bear suits are librarians are teddy bears
In rat suits are librarians so quiet, quiet, please
Rats in teddy bear suits are librarians are teddy bears
In rat suits are librarians so quiet, quiet, please
Rats in teddy bear suits are librarians are teddy bears
In rat suits are librarians so quiet, quiet, please
Rats in teddy bear suits are librarians are teddy bears
In rat suits are librarians so quiet, quiet, please

Lloyd:

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
