the residents - the tower lyrics
claire
“nate, you haven’t said much since the wedding rehearsal started… is something bothering you?”
nate
“no, no, not really… it’s, it’s just that getting married here on your college campus makes me think about how i can’t go back to school now. it, it bothers me a little… but it’s not your fault.”
claire
“we could get married somewhere else if you want, if it really upsets you to be here…”
nate
“no, no, it’s okay, it’s okay… it’s kind of cold in the shadow of this big tower, though, why don’t we take a break… let’s climb the tower. it’s still sunny at the top. we can watch the sunset from up there.”
claire
“that’s a great idea, nate… i, i’ve got something i’d like to talk to you about anyway…”
sandman
“the sandman can
the sandman can
convince a soul that all is well
while it m-st-rb-t-s in h-ll”
nate
“it’s peaceful up here, claire. it’s, it’s nice to be able to look down at the world, to watch the sky turn from day to night.”
claire
“it is nice, nate… i’ve been wanting to talk, and you’ve been so distant lately… you see that hill over there, nate? the round one, the one that’s kind of glowing in the sunset.”
nate
“huh? uh, yeah… wait, i’ll get my telescope out.”
claire
“does it remind you of anything nate?”
nate
“what do you mean, claire?”
claire
“well, does it remind you of something round, and full, that feels like it might explode with new life? i’m pregnant, nate… we’re going to have a baby… twins actually, the doctor says it’s going to be twins. nate… nate… don’t you have anything to say? nate! put that telescope down! talk to me! talk to me!”
nate
“it’s him! it’s him, isn’t it? you’ve been with him! how could you do this to me claire? how could you?”
claire
“i, i don’t know what you mean nate. you look so strange… what are you talking about?”
nate
“it’s him! it’s him! you b-tch! you f-cked him, didn’t you?”
claire
“nate? what? you’re, you’re getting too close, nate! nate, you’re pushing me towards the railing!!! nate? nate!!!!”
nate
“you… you want to have his babies, don’t you??!!! his demon babies with their owl beaks going snap-snap-snap! snap-snap-snap!”
claire
“nate!!! you’re crazy, nate! stop! stop! nate! you’re choking me! stop! you’re going to make me fall!! nate!!!! people are looking up! stop! stop!!! stop him someone!!! please!!! stop him!!!”
nate
“i’ll stop alright!!! i’ll stop when you’re both dead!!! who, who are you calling? it’s him!! he’s down there, isn’t he? it’s him… i see him… he’s looking up at us… he’s laughing… he’s laughing… he’s laughing at me!!! i’ll k!ll him!!! i’ll k!ll him!!!! i’ll k!ll him!!! i’ll k!ll him!!! i’ll…”
sandman
“the sandman can
the sandman can
the sandman can
turn emotions into meat
consequently when he eats
the taste is sweet.”
(epilogue)
claire
“boys, i’m going to be out for a while… you’ll be staying with your grandmother, but i want you to take a nap, you understand? as soon as i leave, she’ll put you to bed and tell you a story, but i want to go straight to sleep… straight to sleep… do you understand?”
nate’s mother
“boys! come here, come over here, boys. climb up here on the bed and old granny will tell you a story. snap! snap! oh, did you hear that sound, boys? snap! snap! did you hear that sound? that’s the sound of the sandman’s babies!!! that’s the sound they make with their little owl beaks when they think they’re about to eat some eyeb-lls!!! that’s all they eat, you know… the sandman’s babies only eat eyeb-lls… eyeb-lls of bad children…”
