## Lyrics

[LLOYD:] (spoken)

Come with us dear listener, as we go backwards in time, just a few years, to when John O’Brien was just a regular citizen, like you, enjoying a few drinks at his local pub as had become his ever increasing habit.

[GOVERNMENT AGENT:] (spoken)

Hey there buddy, you’re lookin’ down. Say, you’re John O’Brien, aren’t you? Ah, jeez fella, I heard about what happened to your wife. Those damn rebels and their bombs, got no respect for law and order. Who, me? Well look here, I’ll level with ya. It’s a damn shame to see a guy with your potential drink himself away like this is all. Yeah, you. We think you gotta lot of potential. That’s right, I’m from the government and I'm here to help. I got a proposition for ya.

[GOVERNMENT AGENT:]

Things have got you down
You don’t know where to run
They’re picking off the things you love
One by one
Well I've got news for you
A life you never dreamed come true

The War Department has a plan
Needs men like you
We’re setting up a special force
To end this coup
Don’t drown your sorrows, bud
Quench your thirst on rebel blood

Get it up
Step it up
Grab a gun and settle it up
Enlist, get with the plan
'Cause Freedom Corps will make you a new man

We’re gonna take you, make you
More than just a man
A god, a super soldier, yes an ubermensch
The next root race is on hand
You’ll be the new age of man

So put away that drink and let us change your life
Protect your city, save the day, avenge your wife
Kill some rebs, win the war
Be a hero, be adored

Get it up
Step it up
Grab a gun and settle it up
Enlist, get with the plan
'Cause Freedom Corps will make you a new man

Get it up
Step it up
Grab a gun and settle it up
Enlist, get with the plan
'Cause Freedom Corps will make you a new man

## Lyrics

[CONSTANCE:]

Look who just walked in here! Katy, dear, I missed ya

It's been too long, aren't you a sight?

Your dress is so inspired

You're looking kind of tired

Katy, girl, are you all right?

[KATY:]

C, it's good to see you, I got a job, I need ya

I'll tell you more if you agree

It's a little B&E

A two girl job, I think

We always made a real good team

[CONSTANCE:] *(spoken)*

I'd do anything for ya, you know that. Just like the old days, huh?

[KATY:] *(spoken)*

Just like the old days.

[CONSTANCE:]

A little nick will do the trick

A snatch, a jack, a grab

A pinch, a sack and out the back

Before it gets you nabbed

Keep your walk so nonchalant

Wonder, what's ado?

The art, my dear, diverting gear

From their domain to you

The rush, the chase on out the gate

The sirens in the street

The artistry of larceny

The vocation of the thief

They say in ancient times

when mighty pyramids stood tall

The class divide was first devised

The have nots and have alls

Then and there, I tell you here

The first thief, they appeared

To recirculate, reallocate

The partitioning of wares

The swipe, the take, the quick escape

The plot, the crime, the scheme

The artistry of larceny

The vocation of the thief

The pluck, the swipe, the swap, the heist

The snatching of the loot

The plunder, con, defraud and gone

The sweet talk and the ruse

The hustle, game, it's all the same

The setup and the scheme

The artistry of larceny

The vocation of the thief

[CONSTANCE:] *(spoken)*

Hey, do you wanna go somewhere and talk? I feel like... I feel like there's stuff unresolved from before and we could sit and chat and, you know, have a little girl time.

[KATY:] *(spoken)*

I do, I - I really do. I - I really wanna... It's just.... I'm sorry, I gotta... I can't, I want to, it's just.... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I've got to go. I've got to go. I'm sorry.

## Performers

Candice Price as Katy Shaw

Kerttu Aarnipuu as Sheila

Marjolein Nijsten as Police Officer

## Lyrics

 [MICHAEL:] *(spoken)*

So Katy heads on over to this warehouse by the docks

With five floors packed wall-to-wall with people tripping their eyeballs off

There's some security guys watching for anyone who dies from overdose

Then they carry the body to the window and toss it out into the river below

Thus, into this madhouse our dear Katy heads

Praying that her girl Sheila isn't already dead

[KATY:]

Oh, thank the stars I finally found you

[SHEILA:]

Is that Katy? Have you come?

[KATY:]

Everything will be all right now

[SHEILA:]

I was so, so sure you’d run

[KATY:]

I’ve been running such a long time

I think it's time I finally stopped

I've been scared and sad and lonely

I need to say this just this once

I'm scared to ever love

Because I'm scared my heart will break

I keep me oh, so silent

And never, ever say

And I'm never gonna be free

If I'm never, ever true

I have to say it one time

Have to say that I love you

[SHEILA:]

Katy, girl, you know I love you

I always have your back, I do

[KATY:]

I don't mean all fun and friendly

I mean the way that might scare you

I mean like, men don't make me crazy

Not the way girls like you do

[SHEILA:]

I always wondered why you never hooked up

Never have no flings

[KATY:]

Now you know

[SHEILA:]

I guess I do

[KATY:]

I'm scared to ever love

Because I'm scared my heart will break

I keep me oh, so silent

And never, ever say

And I'm never gonna be free

If I'm never, ever true

I have to say it one time

Have to say that I love you

[SHEILA:]

I wish you'd told me, K, before this

I don't know why you’d think I'd freak

I don’t know why you'd think I’d leave you

I'm way more open than you think

If I’d have known we could've maybe

We still can it’s just, it's so

If we’re gonna bear our souls here

There's one thing that you should know

On the day we come it's over

I'm an informant, it was me who called

Back at the club, I brought the cops in

To pick you up, you know, the raid and all

The reward, it's so much money

And they would have let you go in a few days

The time the two of us did tansan

I watched you blip, I watched you blip away

They’d pick you up, you’d get their folder

They’d let you go and I’d get all that cash

And then the two of us would party

Go back to dancin', boozin', havin' laughs

[POLICE OFFICER:]

Miss Shaw, get on your knees this instant

And put your hands behind your head

We've got you now, no sudden movements

We don't want you quite yet dead

Your cooperation's appreciated

Your help, to us a lot it means

The time has come to do your duty

If you run, we will blow off your knees

## Performers

Paul Shapera as "Lloyd Allen"

Oliver Marsh as "John O'Brien"

## Lyrics

[LLOYD:] *(spoken)*

We take you now to a small, morbid room deep in an underground bunker. His skin festering where the cables and iron tubes worm their way in and out of his reconstructed body, John O’Brien sits alone in the sickly green light, where only two mannequins with screens for heads keep him company.

[MANNEQUIN CHORUS:]

Past the world

Past the night

Past the stars where sea birds fly

Past your dreams

To toyland’s shore

Where we will meet again once more

[JOHN:]

There’s rust in my bones and sins in my flesh

My skin rots, wires and iron infest

They’ve butchered my body to make me the best

Their mad dog of war they unleash on the world

To burn and ravage, gut and hurl

In between I sit here and think of the girl

The scent of fragrance on the wind

[MANNEQUIN CHORUS:]

Is all you are and all you’ve been

[JOHN:]

Lullabies and dime store tales

[MANNEQUIN CHORUS:]

No dreams escape the green room pale

[JOHN, MANNEQUIN CHORUS:]

No colors cloud your daydreams

Your penny dreadful memories

Your worn through war time serial tales

[MANNEQUIN CHORUS:]

No dreams escape the green room pale

[JOHN:]

Their one super soldier, the one that survived

The red pill’s for duty, the blue’s for inside

Their failed plan for an army of gods made of iron

At night these screens light up with faces I’ve known

The flesh I’ve left rots and falls from my bones

I sit with the girl in the screen all alone

The scent of fragrance on the wind

[MANNEQUIN CHORUS:]

Is all you are and all you’ve been

[JOHN:]

Lullabies and dime store tales

[MANNEQUIN CHORUS:]

No dreams escape the green room pale

[JOHN, MANNEQUIN CHORUS:]

No colors cloud your daydreams

Your penny dreadful memories

Your worn through war time serial tales

[MANNEQUIN CHORUS:]

No dreams escape the green room pale

[PA:] *(spoken)*

Please exit the bunker, take the red pill, and report for active duty. Please exit the bunker, take the red pill, and report for active duty.

[JOHN:]

In the fire

Bathe in the fire

In the fire

Bathe in the fire

Bathe in the fire

Bathe in the fire

Bathe in the fire

Bathe in the fire

## Lyrics

[ADRIAN, LEE, VOODOOPUNKS:]

Dollay dollay, dollay dollay, dollay dollay oh

[MASCOT 3000:]

Arcadia’s devised

A way to open wide

A door away

And they will send the Voodoopunks

To Elysium to immigrate

And as the Voodoopunks get set

to go to Elysium

They’re dealt a blow

All the work that Connor’s done

Well he gets their funding cut

With days to go

But now we shift our focus, come

To Amber’s child and Connor’s son

Who are distraught

They are young and they’re in love

They think Elysium is all they’ve got

[LEE:]

You’re all I want and you’re all I need

You’re all I hope and you’re all I dream

And I love you, love you, so far gone

I wish to wish of a wish you dreamed

Of a far away where we both can be

And I love you, love you, so far gone

[ADRIAN:]

It always was just me and you

Against the world, against the rules

But now he’s bust the road ahead

And dropped the dreams from out our bed

Your Daddy O’s come packing heat

And sprayed the walls with dreams we dream

They’ll straddle us with bones and chains

And break us, cage us, make us age

[LEE:]

But what if there

[ADRIAN:]

There was a way

[LEE:]

To make him change his mind

[ADRIAN:]

Let’s say

If he thought

[LEE:]

I was enslaved

We go there now

[ADRIAN:]

and we pretend

That you’re possessed

[LEE:]

and he must end his war

[ADRIAN:]

To see you safe again

[LEE:]

I’d cross the world

I’d climb the sawed off ends of time

I’d fall and crawl and die

To have you by my side

We’d build a paradise

A world where Heaven lies

Come with my my sweet delight

Oh hell, I’ll take you there tonight

You’re all I want and you’re all I need

You’re all I hope and you’re all I dream

And I love you, love you, so far gone

I wish to wish of a wish you dreamed

Of a far away where we both can be

And I love you, love you, so far gone

I’ll take you far away

From desperate lives one day

Beyond the crumbling sheds

Of soulless, dying men

For us there won’t be lies

Or crushed and wasted lives

For us there’ll be Elysian nights

Forever with you by my side

You’re all I see and you’re all I save

And you’re all I need and you’re all I crave

And I love you, love you so far gone

And all the angels looking down

Don’t love you like I do right now

I love you, love you so far gone

And I love you, love you

Yes, I love you, love you

Yes, I love you, love you so far gone
The Best of Times

"The Best of Times" is the second track of the third act of The New Albion Radio Hour, and the seventeenth track of the album overall.

## Lyrics

[JACKIE:]

A book store, a fair

A music hall, park

Everywhere I went, I saw her

At a circus run down

On the outskirts of town

We sat down

And started talking

The hours stop

The days unwind

At a quarter to the best of times

In hindsight, I wish

The sweet painful bliss

Of seduction had drawn out longer

'Cause we fell in fast

Fell hard and the world spun past

Like a waltz that swept along us

The hours stop

The days unwind

At five to the best of times

From money she came

Weekends, in those days

Our soirees were the wildest in town

The inspired, the mad

The thinkers, the poets

All laughed, raised a glass, and whirled past

The hours stop

The days unwind

It’s precisely now the best of times

But times, they darken

The purges had started

On the day they came, Dorothy was taken

The doors all were locked

The parties all stopped

I learned to drink scotch in a dark room, forsaken

Years passed, but then

I saw her again

Sewing clothes in a room without fans

She didn’t know me

She couldn’t, you see

In her eyes, something missed

There’s a trick with a pick

The doctor gives it a nick

It makes you docile real quick

The hours stop

The days unwind

Moments pass

Memories sigh

At half past the best of times

## Lyrics

[THOMAS:]

And if you stay calm, I can help you

[CONSTANCE:]

You must be glad now you finally found me
Lord knows what they offered you to rat
I just want to know when did they turn you, when’d you go?
How long’d you plan to stab me in the back?

[THOMAS:]

I was never turned, I was undercover
Constance, this was never about you
This city, people’s lives
We must step up and sacrifice
To bring peace back
I swear that this is true

[CONSTANCE:]

You told me that you loved me
You told me we were meant to be
You lied and you broke my heart
You told me that you loved me
You used me and you played me

[THOMAS:]

Like you played your marks
Like you played your marks

The thief is a lady
And I thought that one day maybe
When this was over
We might have a chance
I swear that I came to
Love you and now save you
But lives depend on finishing what I began

[CONSTANCE:]

You told me that you loved me
You broke me and you shattered me
With every word, which maybe I deserve

But I loved you with all my heart
I loved you and you ripped me apart
I loved you and now it’s gone

[VOODOOPUNKS:]

Dollay, dollay oh
Dollay, dollay oh oh
Dollay, dollay oh
Dollay, dollay oh oh

[THOMAS:] (spoken)

No!

[CONSTANCE:] (spoken)

What?

[THOMAS:] (spoken)

It’s them.

[CONSTANCE:] (spoken)

Who?

[THOMAS:] (spoken)

You don’t know what they’ll do to me.

[CONSTANCE:] (spoken)

Who?

[THOMAS:] (spoken)

The Voodoopunks.

[CONSTANCE:] (spoken)

Aunt Jackie?

[JACKIE:]

Policeman, it’s sublime
To meet you here now at this time
I notice that you’ve made my dear niece cry
But don’t worry ‘bout that, no
I’ve brought some friends to say hello
We’re so glad that you have thought to stop on by

Policeman, we all know
That up there we’re afraid to go
You kill us in cold blood day after day
But now we’re underground
And you are on our own turf now
The Voodoopunks request your presence at our soiree
Sheila

art by PixelWayve

Sheila is a character in Katy Shaw and the Search for the Stolen Secret. She is voiced by Kerttu Aarnipuu.

## Biography

Sheila was close friends with Katy Shaw, and was unaware that Katy had a crush on her. The two ladies would spend their days partying at The Balley, and made money by stealing and fencing goods. Sheila worked for Cora, the Cigarette Girl.

Sheila had seen Katy blip away and disappear from time one day when they had used TanSan. When the police offered a reward for someone who could blip and retrieve their stolen folder, Sheila gave them Katy's name and arranged for a raid on The Balley. However, Katy was shooting up on the fire escape when the police arrived, and avoided being captured. When the cops were unable to find Katy, they took Sheila in instead.

Sheila was kept in the warehouse full of druggies the police were force feeding TanSan, hoping that someone would blip away. She was surprised when Katy came to rescue her, having expected that her friend would run away. Katy admitted that she loved Sheila, and Sheila wished that Katy had told her earlier. Sheila says that she's more open than Katy thought, and that maybe they could have had something together. Then Sheila admitted that she was the informant who had given Katy's name to the cops. Sheila tells Katy she would have been released once the cops got their folder back, and then they could have gone back to partying.

The police arrive and capture Katy, but after she is force fed TanSan and disappears Katy does not blip back into the warehouse. Presumably, Sheila does not get the promised monetary reward since the government did not get their folder back.

## Trivia

* When Paul confirmed that Sheila was bisexual, he elaborated that "one day, after the whole warehouse thing, Sheila decides to try lesbian sex out and it blows her freaking mind. She was fortunate to have a good, fun and caring partner as it could have made her run away and never try it again, but this was not the case."
* Sheila is featured on the Swinging at the Balley shirt, hoodie, and poster in the official merch shop, with art drawn by Alyssa Wiswall
The Moth

"The Moth" is the fifth track of the third act of The New Albion Guide to Analogue Consciousness, and the eighteenth track of the album overall.

## Lyrics

[LEE:]

You cannot win the long, hard race with time

With burdens borne on you, you cannot rise

And what you loved you cannot recognize

When it’s after

All that mattered

The moth cannot be as before cocooned

The mermaid cannot but dream that she flew

I cannot see in you the boy I knew

So long after

Does it matter?

You cannot wish the genie back to life

You can’t erase the bad times from your mind

Sometimes the hero does not come in time

Only after

It doesn’t matter

You and I, it was the sweetest life

You wore a different scent

With different eyes, which I admired

You weren’t the girl you are before you died

So long ago flew

Do I know you?

I cannot love you in the way you want

You are simply not the boy I loved

In the end change takes us all apart

It comes and scatters all that matters

I cannot keep the boy I held so tight

I couldn’t know our dream would take our lives

I wish for you a better life this time

Our love lies scattered

Lost in tatters

It once so mattered

## Lyrics

[MASCOT 3000:]

The portal to Elysium

Opens for a flash

The first time in two decades

And Rachael and I pass

Through to where a ragged group

Awaits us with surprise

Their leader Yasser Latef

Greets us with a smile

[YASSER LATEF:]

Adrian, we heard that you would now return

After years and it turns out you're Rachael now

Through Connor’s how we knew

I don’t know how he got you through

They always die but you are welcome anyhow

My god you’ve changed, last time

I saw you eighteen years gone by

You were Adrian then and you were the last

To send back that we tried

You hit that portal and you died

We then stopped trying, how Lee cried

And now you’re back

[SOLDIER:] (spoken)

Incoming, we’ve got to go!

[YASSER:]

Rachael you must go now

Underground where you belong

[RACHAEL:]

How have you survived here for so long?

[YASSER LATEF, BLOOD RED DOG CHORUS:]

Lock and load, let it go

The loathsome sideshow

Is comin’ on down the town

Barker in your hand, it’s a bedlam jam

We’ll be tearing it up all around

Fire in the hole, it’s a breezy stroll

We’ll have tea in hell today

When the Blood Red Dogs come and do a job

And send you on your way

[YASSER LATEF:]

Twenty years here, dug in hard

Where the party’s at and just getting’ started

Thousands came, now a hundred left

Who just can’t be talked into being dead

We came along for the dream they dreamed

To watch their backs and keep the peace

But guess some bastards can’t resist

The Blood Red Dogs’ sweet blood red kiss

[YASSER LATEF, BLOOD RED DOG CHORUS:]

Lock and load, let it go

The loathsome sideshow

Is comin’ on down the town

Barker in your hand, it’s a bedlam jam

We’ll be tearing it up all around

Fire in the hole, it’s a breezy stroll

We’ll have tea in hell today

When the Blood Red Dogs come and do a job

And send you on your way

[MASCOT 3000:]

Yasser says that we must go

To the bunkers far below

Where Lee awaits

He knows the two of you were close

Although you’ve changed now so much so

Since you went away

A thin breath away

And all that is true

Rivers and words, pages all turn

And so too do you

[RACHAEL:]

I heard your voice, I heard your song

A world away, a lifetime gone

I’ve come to a far and foreign place

I crossed a world and heard the cries

Of lifetimes past and came to find

If it’s true, love finds a way
Tickertape Rain / The Fallen

Tickertape Rain/The Fallen is the eight and last song in The Fallen.

## Lyrics

[DEMON]: "The silence cradles and creeps.

The silent pollens of a world fallen asleep suspended in time like a snapshot, it seems, floating in dreams.

Like Tickertape Rain.

Angels fallen and torn becoming Demons who stand wiser and worn.

Hermits who faced the Fury and Grace and silently wait.

For Tickertape Rain.

Sooner or later, you'd go, or perhaps I would.

But at this moment, all is so peacefully precious and time will carry on the wings you lost.

Until you rise, turn and fly away on soft, sacred strains.

Of Tickertape Rain."

[MONKS]: "Child who is cast, ripped away from your past, from the sweet autumn colors you have known.

Come back inside, from the cold where you hide, far away from the darkness where you've rown.

And child, don't you want to go home?

Child, don't you want to go home?"

[ANGEL]: "Have you ever seen an Angel fall in thirsty thick temptation?

Have you ever seen a Demon fly on wings of warm salvation?

Have you ever lifted up your eyes to see the man behind the Demon?

Or the woman struggling hard to rise with heavy Angels wings on?"

[DEMON]: "When I fell down, when I fell down, when I fell.

When I fell down, when I fell down, when I fell.

Did you ever see the woman on the cliff that was too high stand too close, spread her arms and sway with tight, closed eyes?

Did you see her smile and laugh and leap into the view?

Did you stake your Fallen Angel when she spread unseen wings and flew?"

[ANGEL]: "When I fell down, when I fell down, when I fell.

When I fell down, when I fell down, when I fell."

[BOTH]: "When I fell down, when I fell down, when I fell.

When I fell down, when I fell down, when I fell.

When I fell down, when I fell down, when I fell.

When I fell down, when I fell down, when I fell.

When I fell down, when I fell down, when I fell.

When I fell down, when I fell down, when I fell."

[ANGEL]: "Fall, little Angel!

Fall, little Angel, and then I fall, and with these broken wings I'll fly.

Fall, little Angel.

Fall, little Angel, and then I fall, and with these broken wings I'll fly."

## Lyrics

[MICHAEL:] *(spoken)*

For two weeks there’s been rumors that the cops are rounding up

All the junkies and the druggies but no one knows for what

Now, some say it’s all just rumors, but now Katy knows it's not

Since her girl there Sheila’s the latest party girl to be caught

Katy was damn lucky 'cause she escaped the raid

And that's cause she was shooting up out on the fire escape

She hid up on the roof and though she was in a daze

She watched them take poor Sheila and a bunch of other folks away

So Katy’s scared and frightened and she runs back to her place

To sit and hide and lose herself in her favorite drug’s embrace

And wonder what shes made of. Can she step up? Can she even cope?

'Cause this broken little junkie might be Sheila’s only hope
Possession

"Possession" is the eighth track of the first act of Slenderman, and the eighth track of the album overall.

## Lyrics

[ZOE:]

I must possess you

I must crawl under your skin

Access, ingress you

You must let me in

I must enter, circumvent you

Ride your body, wear your skin

Just open up, embrace me

And let me come on in

I’ve been working up to tell you

But it seems we're out of time

There's a detail left unmentioned

I am not quite alive

All this time that we’ve been hanging

To most it looks like you’re alone

For only some can see me

'Cause I’m afraid that I’m a ghost

But please don't let this throw you

All else I've said is true

And it's long since I have had a friend

Someone like you

But before you bleed on out here

And the slenderman arrives

If I can come crawl in there

I’d really like to hitch a ride

I must possess you

I must crawl under your skin

Access, ingress you

You must let me in

I must enter, circumvent you

Ride your body, wear your skin

Just open up, embrace me

And let me come on in

I have wandered for a while

Looked so hard for one like you

That the tall, thin man is hunting

I just want to come with too

When he catches you, and frankly

That’s a minute here from now

Let me in, I’ll take the pain

Go to sleep, just lay your spirit down

Now, trust may be a small issue

Leaving your body to my care

But I swear my reasons worthy

I just need your skin to wear

I must find out where he takes you

where he goes on with his prey

I have hunted long the hunter

This chance may not come again

I must possess you

I must crawl under your skin

Access, ingress you

You must let me in

I must enter, circumvent you

Ride your body, wear your skin

Just open up, embrace me, oh

And let me come on in

I must possess you

Access, ingress you

Oh, I must enter, circumvent you

Ride your body, wear your skin

Just open up, embrace me, oh

And let me come on in

[ZOE:] *(spoken)*

Thank you. Listen, I’ll take really good care of your body. Okay, let me just get in there. It’s coming...

## Lyrics

[CITIZENS:]

[???] sheets of winding deserts, [???] twice, ignite and flicker

Relax your eyes, and you'll see our domes

In towers of lib'ry doors, our city appears and forms

And stands before you now, our home

Where sand once blew, unbalanced

Now stands our ivory palace

And we invite you through our doors

Approach our entrance, tokens

Knock once, and they will open

Then step inside our painted floors

[ALEX:]

Space ignites before my eyes

Mosaic halls contort and climb

The candelabras spiral about me

[Brushing?] the halls alight

A bent old man with a crooked grin

Says,

[OLD MAN:] *(spoken)*

Welcome, I'm glad you two dropped in.

[ALEX:]

The candelabras painting the ceilings

Glistening in the wind

[KATE:]

And spinning 'round, I'm floating on

Down through ballrooms and beyond

Ah, dancing in a woven montage

And spinning 'round the floors beneath

Fractal ballrooms at my feet

Ah, dancing in a woven mirage

[ALL:]

Hey-oh, mama, hey

Hey-oh, mama, hey

Hey-oh, mama, hey-oh, mama

Hey-oh, mama, hey

Hey-oh, mama, hey

Hey-oh, mama, hey

Hey-oh, mama, hey-oh, mama

Hey-oh, mama, hey

[OLD MAN:] *(spoken)*

Relax, there's nothing you need to fear.

The pleasures of here, we gladly share

[ALEX:]

Around us, voices cry and yell

Joy or pain, cannot quite tell

The candelabra painting the parlor

Glistening in the wind

[KATE:]

And spinning 'round, I'm floating on

Down through ballrooms and beyond

Ah, dancing in a woven montage

And spinning 'round the floors beneath

Fractal ballrooms at my feet

Ah, dancing in a woven mirage

[ALL:]

Hey-oh, mama, hey

Hey-oh, mama, hey

Hey-oh, mama, hey-oh, mama

Hey-oh, mama, hey

Hey-oh, mama, hey

Hey-oh, mama, hey

Hey-oh, mama, hey-oh, mama

Hey-oh, mama, hey

[OLD MAN:] *(spoken)*

The vortex in the center, dear, the people 'round it dance.

They slip into the vortex and their flesh turns back to sand.

The vortex in the center, dear, the people dance around.

Just rest for a minute, dear.

Why don't you lay down?

[KATE:] *(spoken)*

...What?

Huh?

[OLD MAN:] *(spoken)*

Lay down.

[KATE:] *(spoken)*

Uh, wait, wh -

[OLD MAN:] *(spoken)*

Lay down.

[KATE:] *(spoken)*

Wait, wasn't this a song?

[OLD MAN:] *(spoken)*

Lay down.

[KATE:] *(spoken)*

Wait- I can't think

[OLD MAN:] *(chanting)*

Lay down.

[KATE:] *(spoken)*

I – I thought - I'm not -

[KATE:]

I need a moment!

This formless crevice

If I could recall

Just who I am, or was

It'd be so easy

Oh god, I want to

Just close my eyes and

Let my spirit go

I need a moment!

I know that I was someone

If only I could get my grip

And my fingernails don't crack and break

I don't think I want to drown

I'm flailing, splashing, losing ground

Just give me silence

I won't, no, I won't lay down!

Ah, oh, ahhhhhohhahhhhhhh
Upper Class Party

"Upper Class Party" is the third track of Kevin & Abi and the Secret of the Golden Pendant

## Performers

Paul Shapera and Kiera-Marie Somers as "Aristocrat Party Chorus"

## Lyrics

[ARISTOCRAT PARTY CHORUS:]

Gaze cinder girl, look through the window to this world

The promenade that glitters so divine

Oh come the music plays and it will sweep your self away

The waltz in which you lose yourself in time.

Gaze cinder girl, at this strange and lovely world

The neon ballroom shimmers and it shines

Oh come, the dance begins and you will not go home again

The waltz in which you lose yourself in time.

Gaze cinder girl, look through the window to this world

The promenade that glitters so divine

Oh come the music plays and it will sweep your self away

The waltz in which you lose yourself in time.
Ravoon

Original art of Ravoon, by Nathan

Ravoon is a meme created by the Shaperapunk fandom. He is a creature based off of Uncle Raven, and is purple and grey in color and wearing Raven's top hat.

He was originally created by Nathan on August 31, 2017 who posted a drawing of Ravoon in NADS with the caption "This is my new OC Ravoon. Please do not steal."

The rest of the fandom quickly embraced Ravoon and immediately set about creating memes and various edits involving the character, including a body pillow.

Ravoon's counterpart is Oid, a human character based on Lloyd Allen. There is also variant of Ravoon named Dravoon who is based off of David Adams, the character who would later became Raven. Dravoon is the same type of creature as Ravoon, but colored yellow and red.

## Ravoon Travels the World

A plushie was created of Ravoon by Stonky Laura on September 6, 2017.

The Ravoon Travels the World project began, which sent the Ravoon plushie to multiple members of the NADS community. During the course of the project, Ravoon visited many locations including London, Finland, Pennsylvania, New York City, Texas, and Korea.

A tumblr blog was created to document the travels of Ravoon, featuring pictures of Ravoon having all sorts of adventures as he toured the world visiting his friends.

Kevin: Wow, a murder and a train wreck all in one. So how long was it between discovering the body and calling us?

Xiao-Li: I didn't call.

Kevin: You didn't?

Xiao-Li:

You are mistaken I must say

I've only now discovered it myself

My Kem, my darling boy, his woe is over at long last

In heaven now he rests-

Kevin: Oh bloody hell, lady. You can't tell you're glad that-

Abi: Kevin, we all deal with grief differently.

Kevin: Ok, ok, you're right. I know. (Sighs) Can you please take us to the body?

Xiao-Li: Zippy did you call these nice detectives?

Kevin: Zippy?

Zippy:

I heard you say dead body - is that right?

It just so happens that we have one hereabout, just step this way

Kevin: Zippy, did you call us?

Zippy:

The sad boy, who no one will notice, crying for help, no one comes

Darkness, someone has taken, someone has taken the sun

Xiao-Li: Zippy, what are you on about?

Can I help you out with something on this bright and lovely day?

I heard you say dead body - is that right?

## Other Events

In addition to the the show, there were two other main events held during the weekend

On Thursday July 13 a karaoke night was held, hosted by Rob Stillwell (X\_Blade\_Mage) and Maisie. One section of the karaoke night featured a contest, with the fan selected winner of the contest getting to perform a song on night two of the liveshow. Jade Gordon won the karaoke competition, and performed The Rhumba Club during the show.

On Sunday July 16 Paul ran a quiz night, offering a grand prize of the Lloyd puppet used in the show to the winning team. With 47 points, the team "Paul's Bitches" won the trivia night and Fayz took home the Lloyd puppet.

## Trivia

* Psyche was supposed to perform in the show, but could not be in attendance and instead provided audio clips to be used during the performance.
* On the second day of the liveshow, as Asha is asleep during the beginning of the show, Abby legitimately fell asleep and needed to be woken up by Bradley
* One of the cast's favorite lines was forgotten during the performance. Before the start of the medley duel, Raven was going to walk up to the demons and say: “Hey dilfs!” which would prompt Michel to ask, “I thought you said I was a dilf?” to which Raven would respond: "Well they’re demons, you’re a dad."
* For the David/Raven scene Mikayla made a brilliant artistic choice to set the lighting to cast two shadows on the floor behind Paul, even though she had no idea who David even was until after the show was over
* In his own words, Bradley's explanation for the "tell me when to stop" joke: "We were at a place in Minneapolis called Blue Door where we were introducing people to wings. Somehow, we got into the convo of buttholes and poppers. Hayley tells an anecdote. I say something about sitting on a fire hydrant and making it disappear. We discuss the possibilities of such an open hole. I then turn to Paul and start counting up on my fingers and say “just tell me when to stop.” He giggles more than I have ever made him giggle until he cries. I vowed I would surprise him in the live show with it. HE BEAT ME TO IT by doing it just before I sang HOME"

## Lyrics

[LLOYD:] (spoken)
And now, a very special word from our sponsor. Folks, haven’t we all had enough of war, violence, chaos, sadness and loss? Don’t we all just want to live someplace where we can walk safely down the street? Where your children are safe from violence and pain? Well, one important way you can help to make this happen is to smoke Papaver Cigarettes. Smoking Papaver Cigarettes supports your city. It not only help the reconstruction effort, but Papaver Cigarettes is the only cigarette made from a patented blend of organic tobacco and the ancient Chinese medicinal ‘papaver’. It’s guaranteed to relax and sooth you. You deserve to have all the anxieties of the day swept away. And now, back to the New Albion Radio Hour!

Welcome back to the third and final act of our special broadcast focusing on the crucial Battle of Crier’s Boulevard which decided the outcome of the war.

We open hours after the events of acts one and two. Jacqueline O’Brien sits in an isolated substation deep below the city with the captured young policman, Thomas.

[JACKIE:]

Waiting

[THOMAS:]

Waiting, and conversation

[JACKIE:]

Still no word from the surface

[THOMAS:]

And so he bought the farm and left the city

[JACKIE:]

But by then she was so drunk she couldn’t keep it straight
Still no word

[THOMAS:]

But they never performed together ever after

[JACKIE:]

He would have gotten it if he’d been able to wait
Still no word

[THOMAS:]

I could hear my mother crying

[JACKIE:]

Waiting

[THOMAS:]

Trying to be silent, and it was then
That I vowed that I’d become a policeman
Prevent that sort of thing from happening again

[JACKIE:]

Waiting

[THOMAS:]

Waiting

[JACKIE:]

Still no word

[THOMAS:]

So have you ever been in love?

## About the Shaperaverse

The Shaperaverse is the universe created by one Paul Shapera via his masterful musical albums. They are epic stories of events of the city of New Albion throughout the ages, all set to stellar music featuring a wide variety of styles. There are great wars, revolutionary inventions, heroic actions, and intimate character moments. The complex and multi-faceted world is filled with fascinating lore containing mad scientist necromancers, cyborgs and spider AIs, brilliant talking mice, time traveling drugs, dwarves and fairies, memes who gained consciousness, and narrators with the power to change the course of events. They contain elements of various punks (steampunk, atompunk, etc), and explore deep concepts such as moral consequences, the nature of narratives, both personal and societal, and questions of choice, chance and fate.

If you're interested and looking for a place to start, the four albums of New Albion Tetralogy is a good place to begin listening, followed by The Ballad of Lost Hollow and then The Fairypunk Trilogy. A flowchart of all the Shapera albums and related works can be found here and all the music can be streamed from Paul's Bandcamp here.

## Current Projects

The most recent album in the Shaperaverse is Kevin & Abi And The Secret Of The Stolen Sun, which was released on December 20, 2022.

Paul has also worked as part of Ah Pook the Destroyer with Matthew Broyles, on King In Yellow, a modern retelling of the 1895 book by Robert Chambers. The King In Yellow album was released June 1st, 2021, and Ah Pook The Destroyer played live in Texas in April 2022.

The next project is going to be a space opera. There is as yet no title, and little known about it. It will take place 300 years after Xandoria left New Albion. Rumor is the outline for the first album is completed and work on the first few songs is underway. Supposedly, the protagonist's name is Jenna. We also know there is a character named Jes who will appear at some point.
