The Pursuit Begins
Raven:
Would you like an hors d'oeuvres, sir? An hors d’oeuvres?

Man:
I‘d love an hors d'oeuvres. Thank you very much

Raven:
And… and you, Ma'am? Hors d’oeuvres?

Woman:
Oh, thank you very much

Raven:
Champagne?

Sarah:
Run rabbit, run
Come your time has come

Run rabbit run for the hounds smell your blood
And your tears and your fear is exciting
Their breath on your neck as you race towards your death
Little rabbit your flesh so inviting

Come your hour has come
Run rabbit run
Raven:
Bang bam boose, cause the moose is on the loose
Poor poor goose, with a ragey mangy moose
It's fugly and it's bugly, with a butt like a caboose
Bang bam boose, cause the moose is on the loose

Hey!
Bang bam boose, oh the moose has laid a deuce
Poor old goose with the smelly, stinky moose
Its breath is like a weasel dying in a garbage chute
Bang bam boose cause the moose is on the loose

Man:
Who are you? What's going on here?

Woman:
It's dreadful, darling, dreadful!

Raven:
Sorry. Sorry. She's psychotic! I'm running for my life here

Woman:
You smashed the chandelier

Man:
The Chandelier!
Woman:
All the dinner plates!

Man:
These are expensive wine goblets

Raven:
Sorry. Just trying to stay alive here. Sorry…



Raven:
My darling what a sight I could've danced with you all night
A bababada bida badadadada
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much



Sarah:
Run rabbit, run
Come your time has come

Run rabbit run for the hounds smell your blood
And your tears and your fear is exciting
Their breath on your neck as you race towards your death
Little rabbit your flesh so inviting
Come your time has come
Run rabbit run


David:
This race we run, it cannot last forever
At some point, we exhaust and down we sway
You know this, that by now
I am just slowing you down
The time has come to let me fade away

Raven:
The last link that I have you cannot vanish
I barely keep from falling off the brink
Once upon a breath, on that cliff from which I leapt
I feel like I’ve been falling ever since

David:
We never loved me…

Raven:
David, I am sorry

David:
And now I slow you down and death careens

Raven:
I cannot let you go, I’ll forget all that I know
Of how it feels to be real and concrete
How it feels to be real and concrete
