about

Scornful One

[Fervently.] We must lift her up.

Motherly One

We will find a place for her in the great good world outside the shielded life.

Shielded One

Then you others go, and I will stay. [Glaspell}

lyrics

The roadside clowns they come and go
the reptiles take their turn

but there's only so much money here
only so many people to burn

even our spirit is paper money
up in a spark and then gone

despite all the efforts to lard it
with the grease of the ghost of the con

that brought us here and made us click
with people that just aren't right

then left us all on the tarmac
while the storms blew in with the night

and there's no one left to make you nervous,
no one left to make you cry

and that's why we sing, that's why we dance,
and that's why we say goodbye

Time is the train
time is the track
time is the lonely whistle
the siren calling us back.
