A New Dream Paul Shapera (Ft. Lux Mortenson, Maggie Kozak & Nora Sonneborn)

Jill:
So hope begins to dawn, a brand era wakes and yawns
The boys take Marjolein under their jaded wing
The caravan comes to a close, on down the road, another show
As they try to teach her strange and baffling things
And the dream my friends, begins again
Oh, the lights ascend upon the stage again

Lloyd: You coax the narrative
Marjolein: Is it alive?
Raven: We ask ourselves that all the time
Lloyd: Is the universe conscious, or a god, or time...
Raven: Wе met Odin once
Lloyd: Oh, he was nicе
Perhaps there’s minds above that we
Cannot comprehend or conceive
Raven: Is the universe a clockwork dance?
Lloyd: Yes, is it--
Raven: With fire boiling in its pants
Lloyd: What?


Lloyd: Think of life as all a play
Raven: Where plots don’t resolve and the playwrights insane
Lloyd: Can we just?
Raven: Sorry
Marjolein: So I should act
Lloyd: You need to be
Raven: To be’s the task
Lloyd: To seem is not to be
Raven: Excuse me, cryptic much?
Marjolein: Yeah, honestly
Lloyd: I see. So, how do we express the trick?
Raven: It’s like you can doctor up the script
