Side Two
( Voices come out of the same TV screen from Act 1, Scene 1. We see on monitor two tired figures somewhere in the mountains of Poland or France – I don’t know, who forgot the map? And they’re down to their last roach motel….)
9a- ENTRACT
TV Voices: What you gonna do when you’re out in the cold?
9b- MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE TURNED LEFT
Seed/Chillum: How many days ‘we been out here on our own?
It seems like years since we left our only home
Sometimes it seems that we must be off our head
Right now I wish I was back home and in bed
We’ve been away so long
It really gets so dismal on the road
Feeling bad, not knowing where to go
And being out here really is no fun
I’m feeling sad being on the run
How many days ‘we been out here on the road?
It seems like years since we left our only home
Maybe we should have turned left, gone the other way
Look, there’s a tourist booth
Straight up on ahead
Let’s see what the man say…
I’d give my all to be back home
I’d never stray too far again
No one could ever bring me back
I’m lost and off the track
Got demons on my back
How many days ‘we been out here on the road?
It seems like years since we left our only home
Maybe we should have turned left, gone the other way
Look, there’s a tourist booth
Straight up on ahead
Let’s see what the man say…
( A hastily assembled shack stands on the roadside, in the middle of nowhere. Nasty Nattie is disguised as a tourist guide….)
9c- THE TOURIST BOOTH
Nasty: Good evening, gentlemen, what can I do you?
Seed/Chillum: We’re lost. We don’t know where to go.
Nasty: (Hah…ah….ah..ah..ahhhh.)
Seed/Chillum: We’re trying to find our peace of mind.
Nasty: I know just the place you have in mind.
Just take this HANDY LITTLE MAP,
I’m sure it’ll show YOU where it’s at.
Seed/Chillum: Thanks, honorable friend,
we’ll see you again.
( They walk away, looking at the map…)
Nattie: Of THAT you can be sure,
You miserable little bores.
HA HA, I’ve sent them to the Land of Incorrigible Influences,
where the next Republican convention will take place.
They won’t get a high, they’ll get….BUMMED OUT!
Ha Ha Ha
( He squeals with nasty delight.….)
