Once upon a time at the foot of a shit mountain, there was a town where the people known as lived, their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world, obscured as it was by shit 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 enough. Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town. They came in camouflage, hidden behind 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 back from behind them and shoot them in the head Now everybody dancing the dance the dead, the dance of the dead, the dance of the dead
In time, Strangefolk found their way into the high reaches of the mountain, and it was there that they found 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 Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly, 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 them up. For the first time, Happyfolk felt fearful for they knew that soon the Monkey would soon stir from its deep sleep. then 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.
O little town in U.S.A, your time has come to see There's you believe you want But where were you when it all came down on me? Did you call me now?
