about

Grogan and Skyla must construct a hill behind a lit scrim where their silhouettes are watched by a porcupine; they recount a memory.

lyrics

Oh no! Oh no!
Remember how we meant to get tuxedoed?
Remember how I looked up what that meant?
But my finger slipped right to the next word -
oh no! oh no!:

'tuxedo-deviled?'

Remember how we called up?
And satan picked up?
Remember how we flew into
the dinner party from hell?
Oh well, oh well.

And we still build this hill
as silhouettes behind the scrim,
as the rill porcupine still wills it,
as our will for the worm still fills us.
And that shadow behind you,
that got you before you saw -
and it's ripped me in two.

You're with me there.
But I'm alone behind this scrim.

Oh no! Oh no!
Remember that rude man at that dinner?
And how he fell asleep right at the table?
Remember that crazy heavy centerpiece made of –
oh no! oh no!:

honey-melon metal?

Remember how it fell through the table?
And remember how it landed right in that lair of monks?

The monks cut the honey-melon in ritual, and the pieces rose up
on the up and up and transformed
into fourteen of the rumored eighteen gods' heads!
