Second Prologue Lyrics
[BUD, spoken]
Second prologue
The streets of Schlimmer
[DOUG, spoken]
It is very early in the morning
So early, the dirt streets?are?still covered
With yesterday’s?vegetables
The stage is filled with doom
Also...?fog
Boot Plaque and Daughter meet on the street
[BUD (as Daughter]
Boot Plaque
[DOUG (as Boot Plaque)]
Daughter
[BUD (as Daughter)]
Had a bad dream last night
[DOUG (as Boot Plaque), spoken]
I know!
[BUD (as Daughter)]
There were pigs
[DOUG (as Boot Plaque)]
Were they scary?
[BUD (as Daughter)]
Yes sir
Very scary
[DOUG (as Boot Plaque)]
I had that dream too
[BUD (as Daughter)]
Spits of meat
[DOUG (as Boot Plaque)]
They were turning
[BUD (as Daughter)]
Overdone and burning
[BOTH (as Daughter and Boot Plaque)]
Like symbols in dreams!
[DOUG [as Boot Plaque] (BUD [as Daughter])
Turning, burning, turning
(Symbols)
Turning, burning, turning
(Symbols)
Turning, burning, turning
(Symbols)
Turning, burning, turning
(Symbols)
Black cats!
(Then with ladders)
Thirteen mirrors shattered
By a warlock (By a warlock)
Scary!
(Spooky, spooky, spooky)
Scary!
(Spooky, spooky, spooky)
Scary!
(Spooky, spooky, spooky)
Scary!
(Spooky, spooky, spooky)
Scary things
(Very tragic)
Dreams like this are always...
Magic!
What does it mean? (What does it mean?)
[BUD, spoken]
Now that... was a nightmare
[DOUG, spoken]
People like me and Bud call a scene like that “foreshadowing”
[BUD, spoken]
But Doug, what is “foreshadowing”?
[DOUG, spoken]
Well, I’ll tell you...
Later
Hit it!
