Once upon a time
At the foot of a great mountain
There was a town
Where the people known as Happyfolk lived
Their very existence
A mystery to the rest of the world
Obscured as it was by great clouds
Here they played out their peaceful lives
Innocent of the litany of excess and violence
That was growing in the world below
To live in harmony
With the spirit of the mountain called Monkey
Was enough
Then one day
Strangefolk arrived in the town
They came in camouflage
Hidden behind dark glasses
But no one noticed them ...
They only saw shadows
You see
Without the Truth of the Eyes
The Happyfolk were blind
Falling out of aeroplanes
And hiding out in holes
Waiting for the sunset to come
People going home
Jump out from behind them
And shoot them in the head
Now everybody's dancing
The dance of the dead
The dance of the dead
The dance of the dead
In time
The Strangefolk found their way
Into the higher reaches of the mountain
And it was there that they found
The caves of unimaginable Sincerity and Beauty
By chance, they stumbled upon the place
Where all good souls come to rest
The Strangefolk
They coveted the jewels in these caves above all things
And soon they began to mine the mountain
Its rich seam
Fueling the chaos of their own world
Meanwhile
Down in the town
The Happyfolk slept restlessly
Their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls
Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain
Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?
And as the Strangefolk
Mined deeper and deeper into the mountain
Holes began to appear
Bringing with them a cold and bitter wind
That chilled the very soul of the Monkey
For the first time
The Happyfolk felt fearful, for
They knew that soon the Monkey would stir from its deep sleep.
Then there came a sound
Distant first
It grew into castrophany
So immense it could be heard far away in space
There were no screams
There was no time
The mountain called Monkey had spoken
There was only fire
And then
Nothing
Oh, a little town in U.S.A
The time has come to see
There's nothing you believe you are
But where were you
When it all came down on me
Did you come in now?
