Take my hand
close your eyes
With you right here
I'm a rocketeer
Where we go we don't need roads roads
Where we stop nobody knows
To the stars if you really want it
Got got a jetpack with your name on it
Above the clouds in the atmosphere
Just say the words
and we outta here outta here
Hold my hand if you feeling scared
We flying up up outta here
Baby, we can stay fly li
yet.
Why would you pack it in?
Well, I just might, you know.
Might think it was a soft idea.
- What does assonance mean?
- What?
- Dont laugh at me.
- Er, no.
Erm, assonance, its a form of rhyme.
Erm, whats an example?
Do you know Yeats?
- The wine lodge?
- No, WB Yeats, the poet.
No.
Well, in his poem
The Wild Swans At Coole,
Yeats rhymes the word "swan"
with the word "stone".
You see?
Thats an
round... where intense heat has half-melted
the 4 jungle gym, the blast has warped the swing set, the
merry-go-round has sagged in the firestorm. Small skulls look
accusingly from the ash-drifts. WE HEAR the distant echo of
childrens voices... playing and laughing in the sun. A silly,
sing-songy rhyme as WE TRACK SLOWLY over seared asphalt where the
faint hieroglyphs of hopscotch lines are still
round sharp and eyes glowing red
MAN UNDER THE STAIRS
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
CORPSE CHORUS
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
VAMPIRES
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
MAYOR
In this town, dont we love it now?
Everybodys waiting for the next surprise
CORPSE CHORUS
Roun
round in the heat!
Youre all going back
to that little island...
...whimpering!
May the mighty hands of Fate
ruin you!
Guran! Why bother
reading their fortune?
They wont even care.
Wont you read my fortune?
Tell me. Will l get the prince
of my dreams?
Why not?
lf you truly love him,
then hell give you...
...your wedding bangle.
Youll be his bride.
-Really? You heard that, Jigni?
-Yes.
But....
But
