Another World
Music by Annmarie Montade
Lyrics by Jon Cooksey
Performed by Mackenzie Phillips and David Steele
Premiered in 2.01 Medium


She lives in one small room
Over the convenience store
She had big plans once
She doesn’t have them anymore
Got little diamonds in her ears
But she’s got coal in her eyes
It’s been night so long now
She doesn’t think the sun will rise

She asks
Is this all there is?
Won’t this ever end?
There must be a better place

Looking for another world
I’m not sure we should
I’m not sure salvation lies there
There is bad as well as good
Let us love each other now
As if this world
Is all there is

He wanted to believe
In the dreams he held so dear
He swam against the tide
But he was drowning in his fear
Out on the lost horizon
The goal kept shrinking down in size
It’s been night so long now
He doesn’t think the sun will rise

He says
This can’t be all there is
There must be something more
There must be a better place

Looking for another world
I’m not sure we should
I’m not sure salvation lies there
There is bad as well as good
Let us love each other now
As if this time
Is all there is

Lying here beside you
I wonder what will become of us
Of you and me
And all of us
So many dangers
So much at stake
I’m scared of what I cannot see, love
I am so scared

I’ll help you if I can
I believe I’ve got to try
We all have our parts to play
And I am playing mine
I don’t know about another world
What beyond this curtain lies
I know it’s been night a long time
But one day the sun will rise
Yes one day the sun will rise


She Sells
Music by Annmarie Montade
Lyrics by Jon Cooksey
Performed by Mackenzie Phillips
Premeired in 2.01 Medium


Hear that song on the radio
The one stuck in your head
It’s designed to seize your mind
Your gonna sing it till you’re dead
It isn’t by your favorite band
It’s by a girl you’ll never know
But the next time you go shopping
She will tell you where to go,

She sells
She sells condos by the seashore
She sells
She sells machines to wax the kitchen floor
She sells
She sells to get a slice of that big pie
But in the end she sells her soul
Because she knows that’s what they want to buy

She gave up chasing that hit single
Why should she work so hard
When she can write one catchy jingle
And buy a house with a back yard?
The suits fill up her fan club
The boardroom is her gig
Her music plays ten times a day
She must be really big!

She sells
She sells condos by the seashore
She sells
She sells the item you been looking for
She sells
She sells to get a slice of that big pie
But in the end she sells her soul
Because she knows that’s what they want to buy

Then she finds herself forgettin’
Why she started in the first place
After notes on the piano
Up on daddy’s knee
First a G, yeah, now an E
That’s the way it, baby
Now it’s contracts
And royalties
And thirty second spots
Don’t make ‘em cry
Just make ‘em buy
And make ‘em buy a lot!

She sells
She sells condos by the seashore
She sells
She sells ointment for that open sore
She sells
She sells to get a slice of that big pie
But she don’t wanna sell herself
And so it’s time to say goodbye!

Mint-flavored air pollution
Advanced internet solutions

She sells
She sells
She sells
goodbye!
goodbye!


Questions

Music by Annmarie Montade
Lyrics by Jon Cooksey
Performed by Jewel Staite
Premiered in 2.03 Siren


Who am I?
A face and hair
A body
Unfinished
A reflection in glass
Unreal

Questions
I watch TV
I listen to songs
Talk about love
Questions
I don’t like your answers
If I had one myself
It would be wrong
Too

Who are you?
A look and a smile
A promise
Unfulfilled
A reflection in my eyes
Unreal

Questions
I watch TV
I listen to songs
Talk about love
Questions
I don’t like your answers
If I had one myself
It would be wrong
Too

Who are we?
A boy and a girl
An aching hunger
Unfed
A reflection of the times
Of chance
Of circumstance
Unreal


New Math

Music by Annmarie Montade
Lyrics by Jon Cooksey
Performed by Mackenzie Phillips
Premiered in 2.05 Listen


Dear party of the first part
It’s time to draw the line
It’s time to make the list and
Divide up the broken heart
Dear mother of my daughter
Dear father of my son
It’s time to face the problem and
Find the proper dissolution

‘Cause this is the New Math
This is the New Math
We didn’t add up
So now we’ve got to decide
This is the New Math
This is the New Math
Still I think it’s a shame
How we multiply and divide

Dear children of our union
It’s time to have the talk
This may get hard to follow
You’d better get some chalk
We’ll put it on the blackboard
Husband minus wife
Sorry you had to learn so young
There’s math in real life

‘Cause this is the New Math
This is the New Math
We didn’t add up
So now we’ve got to take sides
This is the New Math
This is the New Math
Still I think it’s a shame
How we multiply and divide

Don’t worry
It’ll be okay
Even though I won’t see you every day
Mommy still loves you
Daddy still loves you
Instead of one home now you’ll have two

Dear holder of my dreams
Do you recall our honeymoon?
I really meant forever but
Forever came too soon
It’s easy to divide up two
There’s nothing to explain
We end up back with me and you
Equal shares of pain
But when you divide a family
Something still remains
It never comes out even
Something still remains

‘Cause this is the New Math
This is the New Math
Any answer’s all right
If it’s justified
This is the New Math
This is the New Math
Still I think it’s a shame
How we multiply and divide
It's a shame to multiply and divide


Little Goodbyes
Music by SheDiasy
Lyrics by SheDiasy
Performed by SheDiasy
Premiered in 2.05 Listen

I'm gonna tell you something you don't wanna hear
You never listen when I talk
Maybe you'll listen when I walk
So I made my mind up and made a sandwich
And I didn't shed a tear
I gave you one last minute of my time
In this mess I left behind
When you come home tonight
And turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find

My little good-byes
Empty hangers by the closet door
Lipstick tube on the bathroom floor
My little good-byes
Unpaid bills by the kitchen phone
I took the Beatles, left Billy Joel
Little good-byes, little good-byes

I'm sure, you're sure I'll be back in just an hour or two
You'll tape a Hallmark to my door
They always said it better than you
And if you're wondering
When you're gonna hear from me
Well, take a real good look around boy
And it won't hard to see
When you come home tonight and turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find

My little good-byes
Took your favorite Dodger's hat
Left the litter, but I took the cat
My little good-byes
Loaded up the TV in the back of my car
Have fun watching the VCR
Little good-byes, oh baby, little good-byes

So, cry to your mama
And your sympathetic friends and tell'em
And tell them how the story ends

My little good-byes
Took the hourglass, left the sand
Now you got time on your hands
My little good-byes
Took the statue from Japan
Funny little Buddha man

My little good-byes
Change my voice on the machine
Or there'll be little good-byes with every ring
My little good-byes
Left the pictures and took the frame
I've got the umbrella, here comes the rain
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Little good-byes
Rain - yeah, yeah, yeah
Little good-byes
Hey, hey - yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey - yeah, yeah, yeah
Little good-byes


The Rock
Music by Annmarie Montade
Lyrics by Jon Cooksey
Performed by Mackenzie Phillips
Premiered in 2.11 Banshee


There’s a low rock wall
By the cliffs of Mohàr
Runs from down on the ground
Right up through the sea air
As a child I would climb
To the top of those stairs
And wish on the fog
I was anywhere else

The farms and the valleys
Are ringed with the stones
Of the men who built walls
So’s to be more alone
All that’s left of them now
Are their fears and their bones
But the rocks they pulled up
Were all I’ve ever known

The Rock fought my spirit
The Rock fed my anger
The Rock broke my heart
Like the waves of the sea
I tried hard to fight
But it still grew inside me
This island
My Ireland
The Rock is in me

Hard was the ground
In which this child grew
Unforgiving and cold
Was the home that I knew
But knowing the soil
Holds no harbor for you
Makes pulling up roots
That much easier to do

Set sail!
Young pilgrims
Set sail to a new land
Set sail!
Our future
Is out there to find
Goodbye Ma
Goodbye Da

The Rock fought my spirit
The Rock fed my anger
The Rock broke my heart
Like the waves of the sea
I tried hard to fight
But it still grew inside me
This island
My Ireland
The Rock is in me

Now it’s been years
Since I’ve been in that place
And the winds of my life
Have all weathered my face
But it’s only with distance
And the coming of grace
That I see in you beauty
I could never replace

The Rock forged my spirit
The Rock was my anchor
The Rock held me fast
Through the storms of my youth
Now you’ll never die
‘Cause you live on inside me
An oileán seo (This island)
Mo h-Éireann féin (My Ireland)
Li-li-li...


In The Darkness - Reversed
Music by Annmaire Montade
Lyrics by Jon Cooksy
Performed by Mackenzie Phillips
Premiered in 2.15 Destiny

Demons really aren't that bright
In the darkness is the light
I always keep mine locked up tight
In the darkness is the light
But they are so fun to throw
In the darkness is the light
Into the darkness down below
In the darkness is the light

Mostly ghosts are very shy
In the darkness is the light
I like to poke them in the eye
In the darkness is the light
And kick them in their wispy shins
In the darkness is the light
Till they want to be human again!
In the darkness is the light

I live my life in Nexus time
The future is set so no need to whine
Tomorrow's as settled as yesterday
So you might as well sit and watch TV all day!
Yeah!

A junga-bunga bango bines
In the darkness is the light
I get to make up my own rhymes
In the darkness is the light
A creature in my body lies
In the darkness is the light
He wants to make me bake some pies!
In the darkness is the light

I live my life in Nexus time
The future is set so no need to whine
You've got the free will of a bowl of fruit
When will you realize that your life is moot?
Yeah!

Some lucky ones will get to see - yeah
In the darkness is the light
Exactly what their doom will be
In the darkness is the light
But you won't really get a fright
In the darkness is the light
Till you see me beautiful light
In the darkness is the light

In the darkness I delight
I hide under your bed at night
This spunkie thinks that fire is nice
It sure beats getting bored to death in Paradise
Oh, spunkies in Paradise
Our spirits aren't funky
So if you like your spunkie
Spunkie, spunkie, spunkie
That's cool
If you want to meet me
And if you're there to see me
I'll find you mine, all mine!
Oh yeah, the spunkies
In Paradise
