KARNAK: Tonight, in penance. I will give them the chance to express not what were precive to be, but what they dreamt they were.  Tonight we shall raise a middle finger to that most ruthless adjudicator called time.

OCEAN: Something doesn't feel quite right

CONSTANCE: A blur of colored spinning light

BOTH: My heart is racing

Pounding in my ears

NOEL: Dizzy tingling Spinning round

MISCHA: Oh, where's the sky And where's the ground?

NOEL: The rabbit comes and then he

BOTH: Disappears

GIRLS: Total darkness

Spinning black

BOYS: Pushing forward

Pulling back

CONSTANCE: Falling through the air! I wonder

CHOIR: How can this be fair!?

CONSTANCE: Cotton candy

MISCHA: Rancid beer

OCEAN: Staring at the fun house mirror

NOEL: A flash of music Swirling everywhere

OCEAN: Stood in line Took forever

CONSTANCE: Buckled in They pulled the lever

CHOIR: Seconds later Floating through the air

RICKY: Then starting now To understand

CONSTANCE: Holy jeez! We never land!

OCEAN: Did someone spike my diet coke with pot?

BOYS: Screaming metal Broken wheels Sparks were flying Then it sealed

CONSTANCE: And then that sad and lonely creeping thought

CHOIR: My life is falling on the track! I know I'll never getting back! Falling through the air! I wonder how can this be Fair-air-air-air? Ah-Ahh-Ahhh-Ahhhh! Ah-Ahhhhh!!!!

! MYSTERIOUS VOICE: AHH-AH-AH AHH-AH-AH AHH-AH-AH AHH-AH-AH AHHHHH-AH!

OCEAN: What a load of freaking junk! That crusty carnie clearly drunk! Sue that fair for everything they've got!

NOEL: What's the point of even suing? Dead we're done, there's no undoing! Nothing left to do, except to rot!

MISCHA: Sex, oh god why did I wait?

OCEAN: Now I'll never graduate!

RICKY: I hope I wiped my browser history clean!

CONSTANCE: Why I'd even go to class?

CHOIR: Algebra 12 kiss my ass!

MISCHA: Now I know what YOLO really means!

OCEAN: Carpe diem!

CHOIR: What a lovey theme!

NOEL: C'est la vie!

CHOIR: Life is just a . . . Just a dream Just a dream!

And then you're sailing through space

You don't know up from down

And you feel a little strange

From all that spinning round And everything you've loved And everything you've dreamed And everything you've feared And everything that seems so oh so terrifying Is far behind on the ground

Like our far from the city-little-itty-bitty-pretty-hometown Just a teeny tiny dot On a wee blue ball And we've all been spinning All been spinning

Spinning round and round and round

And round and round Round and round

OCEAN: As life was about to start Why did I get into that rickety cart?

It did not feel safe at all!

Tick-a tick-a, heard the crack . . .

CHOIR: Felt the drop, oh I know I'm never going back!

But What really happens? What happens after (THE FAAAALLLLLL!) Fall, fall, fall! (FAAALLLLLLL!) Fall, fall, fall! (AAH!) Fall!!
