CONSTANCE:
Our first song is by Father Louis P. Marcus, our choir conductor. He was inspired by traditional African folk music—specifically The Lion King. It’s about our hometown, Uranium. Enjoy

KARNAK:
In my part of the story, I read all of the children's fortunes- I felt their hopes, thoughts, dreams, knowing they would board the doomed rollercoaster... And could tell them nothing. I even suggested that they ride The Cyclone
CHOIR:
AAH...

KARNAK:
On Monday, September 14th, thеy would board The Cyclone rollercoastеr at 6:17 PM

At 6:19, the same rollercoaster's front axle would break, causing it to derail at the apex of the loop-de-loop, hurtling the children to their deaths!

CHOIR:
AAH!

AND THEN YOU'RE SAILING THROUGH SPACE
YOU DON'T KNOW UP FROM DOWN
AND YOU FEEL A LITTLE STRANGE
FROM ALL THAT SPINNING 'ROUND
AND EVERYTHING YOU LOVED

AND EVERYTHING YOU DREAMED
AND EVERYTHING YOU FEARED
AND EVERYTHING THAT SEEMS SO
OH, SO TERRIFYING

IT'S FAR BEHIND ON THE GROUND
LIKE OUR FAR-FROM-THE-CITY-LITTLE-ITTY-BITTY-PRETTY HOMETOWN
JUST A TEENY, TINY DOT ON A WEE BLUE BALL
AND WE'VE ALL BEEN SPINNING
NOEL, MISCHA & RICKY:
ALL BEEN SPINNING

CHOIR:
ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND
AND ROUND AND ROUND
ROUND AND ROUND
AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND
AND ROUND AND ROUND

NOEL, MISCHA & RICKY:
URANIUM...
URANIUM...

OCEAN & CONSTANCE:
EMPTY STREETS OF EMPTY SHOPS
SHUTTERED ROWS OF MOM AND POPS
BOW DOWN TO THE MEGA SHOPPING MALL

URANIUM...
URANIUM...

NOEL, MISCHA & RICKY:
THE SMART ONES ALL PACKED UP AND WENT
WHY STAY IF YOU CAN’T PAY THE RENT
WE WILL NEVER LEAVE THIS TOWN AT ALL

CHOIR:
DRINK SOME BREW, JOIN THE CHOIR
BUILD YOURSELF A FUNERAL PYRE

URANIUM OUR DEAD-END DIVE
WE’LL NEVER LEAVE THIS TOWN ALIVE
NO WE WILL NEVER
LEAVE
THIS
TOWN
AT
ALL!

KARNAK:
Greetings children
It's time to play

CHOIR:
EARTH IS SKY AND SKY IS GROUND

(whispered)
Did we finally leave our town?

(Button. The children stand gobsmacked, huddled together.)
