Star so light and star so bright
Keep him by my side
I wanna settle down

Baby, there's no need to run
I'll love you well I wanna settle down

Where are we?
What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to form
Crop circles in the carpet
Sinking, feeling
Spin me around again
And rub my eyes
This can't be happening
When busy streets
A mess with people
Would stop to hold their heads heavy
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
All those years
They were here first
Mm, what'd you say?
Mm, that you only meant well
Well of course you did
Mm, what'd you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best
Of course it is
Mm, what'd you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need
You decided this
Mm, what'd you say?
Mm, what did she say?
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cutouts
Speak no feeling, no, I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
Oh, no, you don't care a bit
You don't care a bit

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I am Dr. Marie Rose, Coppélia. Oui, I am a descendant of that guy, the puppeteer. The one who made the ladies to the ballet. I'm not going to get into much of why I decided to reclaim the ballet. I just want you to enjoy what I've done. Sit back, relax. Open your mind to something new. A new story. A new woman to be. Ladies and gentleman, 'shake the dust off'. KOPI is here to entertain you.

Little birdie, little birdie
Come and sing to me your song
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone
I’d rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don’t ever shine
Then for you to be another man's darling
And to know that you'll never be mine
Now I’d rather be a sailor
Way out upon the sea
Then to be some married woman
With a baby on my knee
Little birdie, little birdie
What makes you fly so high
When you know that my true lover
Is waiting in the sky
Come and sing to me your song
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone
I’d rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don’t ever shine
Then for you to be another man's darling
And to know that you'll never be mine
Now I’d rather be a sailor

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more.
It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Sous le dôme épais
Où le blanc jasmin
À la rose s’assemble
Sur la rive en fleurs,
Riant au matin
Viens, descendons ensemble.

Dancers speaking in dark, two femme voices in unison:
To be a performance artist, you have to hate theater. Theater is fake. The knife is not real, the
blood is not real, and the emotions are not real. Performance is just the opposite. The knife is
real. The blood is real. And the emotions are real.
(Man’s voice, with breath sounding labored. Sound has been chopped up into awkward phrases)
You’re right. You don’t know anything about all by myself. You’re right. You don’t know
anything about where you’re coming from, yeah, and where I’m coming from. And where you’re
coming from, yeah, and where I’m coming from. Because it’s mind boggling to you, yeah! How
one man can make it to the top by myself, by myself, by myself, by myself (yells many times).
‘Cause I’m the champion by myself! All by myself! Cause I’m all by myself! (Softer) All by
myself. I think you don’t know where I’m coming from.
(A second man’s voice)
You can’t say that on TV.
(Man 1)
I can say that.
(Man 2 again)
You can’t say that on TV.
(Man 1)
I can say that. I know everything about talkin’ about history, talkin’ about history. Because on
that particular night in Boston, I was the greatest professional wrestler in the world!
(Man 2 again)
You can’t say that on TV.
(Man 1)
I can say that. I’m the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion of the World. Man, I think that
your time is done and I think that the spotlight should go on top of me, yeah! Cause I’m the
champion by myself! All by myself!
Understand that I got things in proper perspective now. Ok, let me repeat myself. That I got
things in proper perspective now. I don’t hear nothin now, I don’t hear nothing. Let me tell you
what’s going to happen, ok, no promises, just guarantees. Ok, let me repeat myself. No promises,
just guarantees. I’m on my way now, doing things my way! ‘Cause I’m that champion by myself,
all by myself! How do ya like that?!

menswear song lyrics:
"Well I only brought three, what you lookin' at me for?"
She's dressed in white and putting off crying
"Well you're the best man, so what's the plan?
Why don't you talk to Matty about it?"
I said, "I only brought three like I told you before
We're gonna have to ask about"
Free bar, that's the point
Spilling Amaretto 'cause of previous joints
I'm sitting with a girl, fortunate placing
Preceding railing racket off a porcelain basin
And who's he? Giving you the lips?
I've never seen him knockin' about
He looks just like me, but six foot three
So I reckon you could knock him out
"Well, I think I'll say a couple of words if you don't mind
I never really got on with your bird the first time
I met her out, dressed in nowt
Tellin' everybody you were shagging about"
Well, who's this? Going for the kiss
I'm probably gonna yosh in your mouth
Because it's five past three, I can hardly see
And I'm on the verge of passing out

Illusions

Text by Circe Rowan
When I was a kid, I fell in love with stage magic. I was fascinated with the idea of making things look like something they're not. I read everything I could get my hands on -- not just like the big secret of sawing someone in half, but the psychology of how to fool people into seeing what you want them to see.
I had no idea how useful this would become later in my life.
If you've seen any of the other pieces in this series, you'll know that I have a connective tissue disorder. It is a genetic condition, an "inborn error of collagen formation". The most noticeable symptom is that I am radically bendy, but it also affects any system that relies on the elasticity of collagen to function. Which is pretty much all of them.
Most people don't notice, because I don't want them to. I use the same principles of misdirection I learned as a wayward kid. Step one is not mentioning anything you don't want to draw attention to. No magician is going to point out the compartment in the table where their assistant is hiding while they stab swords into an empty box.
My proprioception is terrible. I still bonk myself into corners and railings in a building where I have worked for over a decade. I whack myself with the hoop on a regular basis. Nobody twigs, because I don't react. It doesn't bruise less if I say ow, but it does distract other people, and I'd rather not have that conversation eighty times a day. It's difficult to get concerned people to stop being concerned. I really don't want to manage your feelings about what's wrong with me.
Step two is to not draw attention to the things you're not drawing attention to. The magician will not point out the mirror that looks like a hole in the middle of the zigzag cabinet, but they also make sure not to walk behind it. As a dancer, I don't do any inversions that involve throwing my weight onto my outstretched arms. My elbows don't always collapse, but in this context, sometimes is more than enough. So I don't use it in my work. Why would anyone notice? I do a lot of other impressive things.
They also don't notice I use the railing and look at my feet on stairs.
Step three is to make any remaining strangeness look natural. This can be dangerous; more than one magician has died on stage because the audience thought a dramatic collapse was part of the act. Mostly this means being casually eccentric. Maybe I'm swaying back and forth because I've caught a groove -- or maybe I'm moving me out of the hoop's way as much as I'm moving it out of mine. People ask if my hair is heavy, if it causes me neck problems -- yes, and yes. But it's also a good accelerometer, and useful when I'm moving fast.
All of this is a lot of work. The weight of a dance hoop is measured in grams, but it pulls on you a lot when it's going fast. It's more effort than you'd think just to make it look like it's standing still. You learn to school your face, and pointedly not limp. But I do it anyway. The only alternative is to let it drop.

Krishna came today to amuse himself with us by dancing the Raas. The melody of his flute goes like this - Tana Tana Tana. The beat of the rhythm goes Trikita Takita Taka - Trikita Takita Thom. The fair one (Radha) dances to the music as Thaiya Thaiya Thaiya Tha. Her ankle bells sound as Chan Chanana Chanana.
Oh Padmanabha! How can I describe your cosmic play? Please cut asunder our miseries, as we have taken refuge at your feet.

We argue in the kitchen about whether to have children
And about the world ending, and the scale of my ambition
And how much is art really worth
The very thing you're best at is the thing that hurts the most But you need your rotten heart
Your dazzling pain like diamond rings
You need to go to war to find material to sing
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
I need my golden crown of sorrow
My bloody sword to swing
My empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
But a woman is a changeling, always shifting shape
Just when you think you have it figured out
Something new begins to take
What strange claws are these scratching at my skin?
I never knew my killer would be coming from within
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
I need my golden crown of sorrow
My bloody sword to swing I need my empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology
'Cause I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
Ho Ho-oh-oh-oh
Ho-ooh Ho-oh-oh-oh
I was never as good as I always thought I was
But I knew how to dress it up
I was never satisfied, it never let me go
Just dragged me by my hair and back on with the show
And about the world ending, and the scale of my ambition
And how much is art really worth
The very thing you're best at is the thing that hurts the most But you need your rotten heart
Your dazzling pain like diamond rings
You need to go to war to find material to sing
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
I need my golden crown of sorrow
My bloody sword to swing
My empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king

Baby don't you be my enemy
No regrets just the best living a dream
She's so hot, she's like 2000 degrees
She's so sharp like a knife, she made me bleed, oh no

Giacche specdo I mici da na ri
Io mi vo glio divertir.
Jolene:
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name
Jolene And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me
Jolene Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
