[00:00:30] When everyone you have ever loved is finally gone [00:00:37] When everything you have ever wanted is finally done with [00:00:41] When all of your nightmares are for a time obscured [00:00:44] As by a shining brainless beacon [00:00:48] Or a blinding eclipse of the many terrible shapes of this world [00:00:53] When you are calm and joyful [00:00:55] And finally entirely alone [00:00:58] Then in a great new darkness [00:01:01] You will finally execute your special plan [00:01:07] One needs to have a plan someone said [00:01:14] Who was turned away into the shadows [00:01:24] And who I had believed was sleeping or dead [00:01:34] Imagine he said all the flesh that is eaten [00:01:46] The teeth tearing into it [00:01:48] The tongue tasting its savor [00:01:51] And the hunger for that taste [00:01:55] Now take away that flesh he said [00:01:58] Take away the teeth and the tongue [00:02:00] The taste and the hunger [00:02:03] Take away everything as it is [00:02:06] That was my plan [00:02:08] My own special plan for this world [00:02:10] I listened to these words and yet I did not wonder [00:02:16] If this creature whom I had thought sleeping [00:02:18] Or dead would ever approach his vision [00:02:21] Even in his deepest dreams [00:02:24] Or his most lasting death [00:02:28] Because I had heard of such plans such visions [00:02:31] And I knew they did not see far enough [00:02:35] That what was demanded in a way of a plan [00:02:39] Needed to go beyond tongue and teeth and hunger and flesh [00:02:44] Beyond the bones and the very dust of bones [00:02:47] And the wind that would come to blow the dust away [00:02:53] And so I began to envision a darkness [00:02:55] That was long before the dark of night [00:02:59] And a strangely shining light [00:03:01] That owed nothing to the light of day [00:03:14] That day may seem like other days [00:03:39] Once more we feel the tiny legged trepidations [00:03:41] Once more we are mangled by a great grinding fear [00:03:47] But that day will have no others after [00:03:49] No more worlds like this will follow [00:03:55] Because I have a plan [00:03:57] A very special plan [00:04:00] No more worlds like this [00:04:03] No more days like that [00:04:36] There are but four ways to die [00:04:37] A sardonic spirit might have said to me [00:04:42] There is dying that occurs relatively suddenly [00:04:47] There is dying that occurs relatively gradually [00:04:51] There is dying that occurs relatively painlessly [00:04:55] There is the death that is full of pain [00:04:59] Thus by various means they are combined [00:05:02] The sudden and the gradual [00:05:03] The painless and the painful [00:05:08] To yield but four ways to die [00:05:10] And there are no others [00:05:16] Even after the voice stopped speaking [00:05:19] I listened for it to speak again [00:05:23] After hours and day and years have passed [00:05:26] I listened for some further words [00:05:31] Yet all I heard were the faintest echoes reminding me [00:05:35] There are no others [00:05:38] There are no others [00:05:41] Was it then that I began to conceive [00:05:43] For this world a special plan [00:06:06] There are no means for escaping this world [00:06:22] It penetrates even into your sleep [00:06:25] And is his substance [00:06:28] You are caught in your own dreaming [00:06:30] Where there is no space [00:06:33] And a hell forever where there is no time [00:06:34] You can't do nothing you aren't told to do [00:06:40] There is no hope for escape from this dream [00:06:44] That was never yours [00:06:47] The very words you speak are only its very words [00:06:52] And you talk like a traitor [00:06:55] Under its incessant torture [00:07:26] There are many who have designs upon this world [00:07:29] And dream of wild and vast reformations [00:07:34] I have heard them talking in their sleep [00:07:37] Of elegant mutations [00:07:39] And cunning annihilations [00:07:43] I have heard them whispering in the corners of crooked houses [00:07:47] And in the alleys and narrow back [00:07:49] Streets of this crooked creaking universe [00:07:53] Which they with their new designs were made straight and sound [00:08:01] But each of these new and ill conceived designs [00:08:04] Is deranged in its heart [00:08:08] For they see this world as if it were alone and original [00:08:13] And not as only one of count with others [00:08:16] Whose nightmares all precede [00:08:18] Like a hideous garden grown from a single seed [00:08:26] I have heard these dreamers talking in their sleep [00:08:30] And I stand waiting for them [00:08:32] As at the top of a darkened flight of stairs [00:08:37] They know nothing of me [00:08:39] And none of the secrets of my special plan [00:08:44] While I know every crooked creaking step of theirs [00:09:09] It was the voice of someone who was waiting in the shadows [00:09:25] Who was looking at the moon and waiting for me to turn the corner [00:09:30] And enter a narrow street [00:09:33] And stand with him in the dull glaze of moonlight [00:09:38] Then he said to me [00:09:40] He whispered [00:09:41] That my plan was misconceived [00:09:44] That my special plan for this world was a terrible mistake [00:09:49] Because he said there is nothing to do [00:09:54] And there is no where to go [00:09:56] There is nothing to be and there is no one to know [00:10:02] Your plan is a mistake he repeated [00:10:06] This world is a mistake I replied [00:10:23] The children always followed him [00:10:41] When they saw him hopping by [00:10:45] A funny walk [00:10:47] A funny man [00:10:48] A funny funny funny man [00:10:51] He made them laugh sometimes [00:10:56] He made them laugh oh yes he did [00:10:57] He did he did he did he did [00:11:01] Oh how he made them roll [00:11:05] One day he took them to a place [00:11:07] He knew a special place [00:11:11] And told them things about this world [00:11:13] This funny funny funny world [00:11:17] Which made them laugh sometimes [00:11:21] He made them laugh oh yes he did [00:11:25] He did he did he did he did [00:11:27] Oh how he made them roll [00:11:32] Then the funny man who made them laugh [00:11:34] Sometimes he did [00:11:37] Revealed to them his special plan [00:11:40] His very special funny plan [00:11:43] Knowing they would understand [00:11:45] And maybe laugh sometimes [00:11:46] He made them laugh [00:11:50] Oh yes he did [00:11:52] He did he did he did he did [00:11:55] Their eyes grew wide beneath there lids [00:11:59] And how he made them roll [00:12:05] I first learned the facts from a lunatic [00:12:34] In a dark and quiet room that smelled of stale time and space [00:12:40] There are no people [00:12:42] Nothing at all like that [00:12:45] The human phenomenon is but the sum of densely coiled layers of illusion [00:12:52] Each of which winds itself upon the supreme insanity [00:12:56] But there are persons of any kind [00:12:59] When all that can be is mindless mirrors [00:13:03] Laughing and screaming as they parade about [00:13:07] In an endless dream [00:13:11] But when I asked the lunatic what it was [00:13:13] It swore itself within these mirrors [00:13:16] As they marched endlessly in stale time and space [00:13:21] He only looked and smiled [00:13:26] Then he laughed and screamed [00:13:28] And in his black and empty eyes [00:13:31] I saw for a moment as in a mirror [00:13:35] A form the shade of divinity [00:13:38] In flight from its stale infinity [00:13:41] Of time and space and the worst of all [00:13:43] Of this world dreams [00:13:47] My special plan for the laughter [00:14:06] And the screams [00:14:16] We went to see some little show [00:14:23] That was staged in an old shed [00:14:25] Past the edge of town [00:14:28] And in its beginnings all seemed well [00:14:31] The miniature curtain stage glowed in the darkness [00:14:35] While those dolls bounced along on their strings before our eyes [00:14:41] And in its beginnings all seemed well [00:14:46] But then there came a suttle turning point which some have noticed [00:14:51] And I was one [00:14:53] Who quietly left the show [00:14:55] No I did not [00:14:56] Because I could see where things were going [00:15:00] As the antics of those dolls grew strange 404
