Act Three: The City, Daytime - Clone

So this tunnel has an end,

So bright my eyes can’t open.

Vision fades to normal now.

What’s that overwhelming sound?

Who are all these people here?

Should I be afraid of them?

Some are trapped in strange machines,

Some are going inside buildings.

Towers surround me.

Where did all this come from?

No one seems to notice me.

They’re on their way to I don’t know where.

They all move so rapidly.

No one looks the same at all.

So many things are living here.

I wonder where they all came from.

This energy is filling me.

Fall into a sea of people.

Movement surrounds me.

Follow the current now!

So now I understand.

Everybody must do something.

Some will open doors

And some shake hands.

Some will sleep outside.

Some just stare off into nothing.

I will open doors.

I will see what’s inside trash cans.

I will often ride the moving stairs.

Now I understand.

Everybody must do something.

Did I have it wrong?

Now everyone’s gone

When the water fell from the sky.

Now I’m alone.

The world is grey,

And my skin is cold,

And my clothes are all heavy now.

Is it something that I have done?

Did I not understand?

Everything’s wet and shiny now.

Is this what they don’t want?

This water is cleaning us.

It’s not so bad after all.

It’s not so bad after all.

Hey there, kid.

Lovely weather tonight,

Like the gods are all pissing from high.

What you doing out there?

You trying to drown?

Follow me,

Step inside,

And settle down.

I don’t know what to thing of all this.

It’s just rain.

It’ll be gone in a bit.

Come inside near the fire,

Take a seat.

I know just what you need,

Though, I feel much better now.

But why?

Why did you help me out?

Why do dogs bite?

Whys is blood red?

That’s just what friends are for!

Quiet, please.

Trust in me, boy.

I know what you’re good for.
