(phone vibrates)
Allo? No, no thank you
Go to hell… Yes, hell
Thank you.
Awww… give me money!
Sorry, where was I?
Oh, yes
Behind the curtains
Many people were doing very interesting things
They had to hide, you know
Sometimes they are still hiding
On purpose… or they are just hidden
For example, they fooled around a lot with broken technology
Old phonographs
Tape decks
That sort of stuff
And they made big utopian plans
For public artworks no one would ever see
They would also get like cabin fever, go stir crazy
But being crazy is good for something
Recently someone’s even been doing records on bones,
again, though it is definitely unnecessary.
You want to see something, to hear something?
You say nothing
You just look and stay silent
Look and stay silent
You don't go out
You never go out
You're here all the time
Here all the time
Just don't thrust yourself upon me with your endless meals
Just don't thrust yourself upon me with your endless pleadings
You’re my crazy queen
Take my pencil
And draw our house for them
It doesn't look much like a hut
Dance on the table for them
Like I thought of you
Like I thought of you yesterday
