krista knight, dave malloy - electric future lyrics
grace:
it’s so dark
tye:
what’s that sound?
dj:
electricity is at a premium
h++rded and squandered away
used only for capital punishment
grace/tye:
my future oh my future
my electric future
punish me punish me
for my past
every decision
we wasted we splurged we squandered
punish me punish me
for my present
punish my future for my past
for my past
cyrus:
what is this place?
dj:
oh no, you’ve snuck into the execution chamber of the dystopic totalitarian state
cyrus:
what?
dj:
you’ve snuck inside + don’t sit down at that chair! don’t squander any of society’s precious electricity
cyrus:
that’s an electric chair
dj:
for punishment
cyrus:
that’s what i need
cyrus sits down in the chair and puts on the electric crown
dj:
you’ve have to pay
you’ve hurt people
cyrus:
i’ve hurt people
dj:
you’ve have to pay
you’ve hurt your friends
cyrus:
i’ve hurt friends
dj:
you’ve have to pay
you’ve let them down
cyrus:
i’ve let them down
dj:
and your guilt is the only thing that matters
cyrus:
this is my only story
this is who i am
dj:
they make these chairs externally controlled now. but this is an old model. you can manipulate the electricity yourself while sitting in the seat
(cyrus gives himself a tiny shock by twisting a kn+b on the arm rest)
cyrus:
ah!
(grace and tye have seemingly lost all intonation/individuality)
grace:
it’s so cold in the future. i wish i had a sweater
tye:
yes i too remember when we had sweaters…
grace:
what’s is cyrus doing?
tye:
if he’s doing it. he must have to
mo:
look, the dj isn’t looking
jaynie:
we should do it now +
samson:
right? i mean: right?
mo:
if we don’t, this electronic music menace is just going to keep going from school to school! from gymnasium to gymnasium! until there are none of us left!
dj:
guilt is the boogey man inside your head
so many mistakes might as well be dead
dj & henchmen:
guilt is the boogey man inside your head
so many mistakes might as well be dead
dj:
you don’t need to sleep
don’t need to eat
when you can feed off hating yourself
(cyrus shocks himself)
cyrus:
ah!
dj:
does it feel good?
cyrus:
are you crazy? no. it hurts. it hurts a lot
dj:
but does it feel good to feel bad?
cyrus:
it’s what i deserve
dj (very sweetly):
oh really why?
cyrus:
guilt is the boogey man inside my head
so many mistakes might as well be dead
i don’t need to sleep
don’t need to eat
when i can feed off hating myself
(shocks self)
cyrus:
ah!
dj:
look into your eyes
see the boogey man peeking out
he says hi
he says come in take a load off
(shocks self)
cyrus:
ah!
dj & henchmen:
look into your eyes
see the boogey man peeking out
he says hi
he says come in take a load off
cyrus:
what is my future
all i see is the past
this is my only story
this is who i am
grace/tye (underneath previous line):
my future oh my future
my electric future
punish me punish me
for my past
(cyrus shocks himself again)
cyrus:
ah! ah! ahh!
dj:
one more time, cyrus. just one more time
(the three commentators stand at three different points around or along or under the dj booth)
samson:
on the count of three…
commententators:
one two three go!!
(cyrus turns kn+b as the three commentators try to gain entry to the dj)
(samson and jaynie are fricasseed simultaneously with cyrus)
(there isn’t quite enough juice)
samson & jaynie cyrus:
ahhhhhhhhhh! ahhhh!
(mo sees that he alone has survived)
mo:
samson? samson? jaynie? samson? boo? i don’t mind if you haunt me guys + booo? jaynie? samson? oh no
(beat)
mo:
i guess it’s up to mo
(mo enters the belly of the dj area)
(mo accidentally triggers the air h+rn)
(end of heat)
