Ladies and Gentlemen, my friends. Welcome to the circus, where it all begins. From the depths of the darkest darkness In a city of success and sin Lived a boy with a dream, drive, and esteemed Want to change the world through the silver screen Come on….Dream on Followin his fathers footsteps, Will he trail on his papa’s coat tails? We’ll see …what will be….yes we will indeed. Bridge 1. His papa got drunk on alcohol and fame They found him in the trunk of his Cadallac Escalade. It was a messy day. Bridge 2. The man’s death was kept undercover Left weeping was a child and a mother Shame they could never place the blame All that was left was a has-been’s insurance claim. Instrumental break: Chorus: Relax, take off your cool and slip in To your brand spankin’ new celebrity skin Does it fit? Is it loose? or do you need a lift? Nose too big? We’ll shrink it and blow up your tits! Instrumental Break: Alt. Bridge 3. He was slowing the train, they’ll never catch me. He couldn’t handle his fame, so don’t blame me. I had to save my name, before he sunk me. You might’ve done the same, so don’t judge me. Chorus: Relax, take off your cool and slip in To your brand spankin’ new celebrity skin Does it fit? Is it loose? or do you need a lift? Nose too big? We’ll shrink it and blow up your tits!

Eye see you, Do you see me? In your conscience desperately. Uneasy and fearful of such a tempest, you begin to back away from your discovery. You realize you must find a safer shelter, more durable than this room. You turn back to the desk to find your journal missing. ONSTAGE: The girl players enter the stage and begin to harmonize. We steer you clear your intuition. Mold you to our super-visions. As you scope your surroundings you notice figures emerging from one of the shadowy walls. You freeze and lock up. Scared stupid. The figures slowly approach, and their faces and bodies become more visible. You’re brain questions what you’re eyes are seeing. The vague bodies have morphed into grotesque creatures. Pale faced and gaunt, not human. And Kill that little boy. Kill that little boy. Kill that little boy. Kill that little boy. Eye see you, do you see me? Here’s the door to fit your key. You run towards a white wall, looking for a way out. Smell the sweet monetary motivation… Out the window, there’s nothing but white chaos. …Put to sleep all inspiration. Flakes are falling, rising and blowing from every direction. The storm is beautiful, but utterly threatening. You turn and run towards the opposite white wall, but a skeletal hand grips your wrist like a vice, stopping you in your tracks. And… Kill that little boy. Hold on to your drawers and wait for what’s in store Kill that little boy. Trust me, my friend I won’t fuck you I’m not a whore Your escape seems more hopeless by the second. Your wrist is locked in the hand of what seems to be the lead creature. With a supercilious grin, the creature waves his thin finger, encouraging you not to struggle. You defy it, and thrust your body towards the brightest wall breaking free from the creature’s grip. You’re back against the blinding light, you can barely make out the creatures beyond the glow. Eyes see you, do you see me? Distracting your reflection on your T.V. The creatures seem unable to approach the light. You vaguely see all of the figures drop out of your vision except one. A single feminine figure. It approaches, unaffected by the glow. As the figure finds you, a soft smile appears on her pale, beautiful face. We’ve learned to breed our sweet disease And clone the blinded as we please. It is uncertain whether or not she is one of the creatures. She reaches out her arm and without searching hard, gently takes your hand into her own. Spellbound, you willingly follow her away from the wall, and immediately become surrounded by a swarm of the creatures. Kill that little boy. You’ll be one of us, with no emotion you can do much more Kill that little boy. We’ll turn you in to a king, we’ll shoot for Zeus, or we’ll aim for Thor. Bridge: Instrumental You are out of power and helpless. Physically weak. The creatures hold you tight in their arms, like prey, fettered in talons. They’re toting you towards the derelict fireplace, which is now full of heavy flames. Just before reaching the fire, the female figure from earlier whispers something into your ear. Kill that little… FEMALE CREATURE/BRANDY Don’t let’em take you down. Don’t let’em take you away. Don’t let’em steal your soul. Don’t let’em steal you. Your eyes meet for a moment, and then break as you’re hurled into the fiery hole. Don’t let them. Don’t let them. WAKE UP!! He bursts into a cackle that would make children cry.

VANCE SINGS VERSE: Jeremiah Humble, whatcha doin’? Look at me and listen. Jeremiah Humble, high on your horse, get your head out of those… Clouds, and look around you, now tell me, what more could you ask for? Pretty women, circlin’ round you, when you want one, I’ll be sure you have two. Power, fame and fortune, drugs if you want them, But first you have to understand that- CHORUS: You don’t know yourself, Like you think you do, It’s not a hazard to your health, To let yourself be somebody else…. VERSE 2: Jeremiah Humble, What’s the matter? Don’t you like what you see? Money, over matter, seize the power, ignore the later. Think of this as a game, lose your pride, and win a name, For yourself, if you’re lucky, with my help, maybe you’ll see that- CHORUS: You don’t know yourself, Like you think you do, Forget your sense of stealth, Come on, and be somebody else… BRIDGE: Jeremiah, Do you think your shit doesn’t stink? cause it does my friend. But if you listen to me and maybe follow my lead. I’ll be your genie and grant you wishes three, anything you please, at your knees. You’ve got your ideas, all you need is some recognition. Celebrity, there’s your bullets, that’s your ammunition. And once you’re famous and loaded you can change the world. Jeremiah, Do you want to walk on water, just like your father? Jeremiah, I know it’s hard, but let down your guard. Let down your guard. CHORUS: You don’t know yourself, Like you think you do. Forget your sense of stealth, Come on, and be somebody else…

A wager and a waltz. VANCE Well.. (he sings) What did he think? What did he say? Wasn’t my performance enough to make him stay? Will he return, A new driven man? Won’t he be my little lamb? Doesn’t he know who I am? Brandy and Vance begin to dance the waltz. BRANDY Vance, dance with me. Tell me why you seek him so. Flushed is your face and your eyes aglow. I haven’t seen you like this, since along time ago. VANCE They dance. La La La La La La La La la la la la la VANCE & BRANDY La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la When it’s so cold, it’s so cold, and it’s so very cold dear Icicle bones upon bones caving in burning out here Come stoke the fire and watch the world glow The boy on the pyre sings on with the show. And he sings, on with the show. The kittens are crying the lambs are asleep This industry’s dying, it’s spoiling meat. Every song is the same, we’re on repeat. Every dance is the same, we’re on repeat. Everything is the same, we’re on repeat. I’m a dwindling flame, unless the boy brings the heat. Light that fire, light it for me. Bridge: What I’m sayin is gee we’re really outta shape, Gotta mold that clay and set it to bake. Once he’s done we can do with him whatever we like, We’re on top, at the ritz, and it’s the fourth reich. Gotta go for the gold before the gold rushes us. He’s our golden ticket, but he’s on the wrong bus. He’s a bull-headed, but I’m a cowboy, NO need for analogy, you get the point. BRANDY Bridge continued: Ohh Vance I just don’t know, He seems a sweet kid, with an honest soul so, Why then should I stoop so low, What do I get for being so shallow? VANCE Brandy Darling Dance with me, And listen to my words, You’ll Rise from ashes to build a new Empire, it’s a wonderful life, Problems behind you, a celebrity too, that’s you. That’s you. That’s you. You’ll play his wife. Missus Jeremiah Humble Can I get you anything? Missus Jeremiah Humble What an awfully lovely ring And Your eyes are like opals inside VANCE BRANDY A castle made of beautiful brains. *(on one)Missus Jeremiah Humble *(on four) Missus Jeremiah Humble Can I, Missus Jeremiah Humble Missus Jeremiah Humble Would you, Missus Jeremiah Humble Missus Jeremiah Humble Do you like the sound of that? That’s you. Brandy is in a sort of trance. Mesmerized. BRANDY VANCE He will rise, I’m beside him. La la la la la la la I will rise, I’m beside him. La la la la la la. Now I see so clearly La la la la la la la He will be mine. La la la la la la He will be mine He will be mine He will be mine. He will be mine

THE SMELL OF FAME Something’s cookin, something’s cookin in air today. I can smell it, I can taste it, and I salivate. Something I can dig my teeth into. I can touch it, I hear it, can’t you? It’s been so long, and I can’t help myself. Noooh. Musical Interlude: His blood smells like fame, and it looks like it just might rain, Dear drought you can kick the bucket cause it looks like it’s gonna rain. Dead dogs bakin on the black top, looks like you might have finally found your day, Dust bowl, sallow streets galore, watch the water wash it all away! VANCE Something’s cookin, something’s cookin in air today. I can smell it, I can taste it, and I salivate. Something I can dig my teeth into. I can touch it, I hear it, can’t you? It’s been so long, and I can’t help myself. Noooh. Watch out your futures coming, better sit back and enjoy the ride. Watch out or you’ll see it coming, and you would’ve wished you’d stood aside Watch out your futures coming and soon enough you won’t need me. So I better Watch out and take what’s coming, I better get what’s coming to me, take what’s coming to, Watch out, Watch out, Watch out! JEREMIAH For now I wait, For you to show me your hideous face, Beware my fate, I hope you are what I make of you… And I believe that I can heed the evils, And I believe too that you hold the key to Release the overwhelming feelings that I Carry high and by my side, And if I fall in the end, At least I can say I – Tried- VANCE (sings) Come and feel the lights get hot, and Eyes are watching, hit your spot, and Come won’t you sing and jump through the rings Now wouldn’t it be nice to be a superstar!
