Lyrics excerpts from "The Puppet Show"
Look
The roles are reversed on and off the stage
Big red clothes with funny make-up
One song and one song, how many people are watching
The crows follow the clap and laugh at the wind and water
The two words and the three sentences pull at my five senses.
The sash should be tied tightly so as not to be an eyesore
The puppet strings have become another story
Listen to it
The babbling and the chattering
The staccato and the rhythm
Look at the stage in a square
The audience is uproarious and yells
Panicked and hurried
Plays on the ridiculous
The staccato and the staccato
The staccato is the only thing that makes me think of it.
Stuttering and giggling
Waiting for the audience to applaud the end of the song on the stage
But there's something fishy
They're a cow's head, a chicken's foot, and a high tail
They describe their claws and teeth
The puppet walks to the front of the stage on a silk thread
He bows and hugs
The man who sings the opera has a face
Screaming with despair. Desperation screamed at the top of his voice
