(Jim shakes maracas)
Ray: Okay, take the mics down a little bit. This.. Take these down.
(Jim starts reciting Celebration Of The Lizard from upper balcony)
Celebration Of The Lizard
Lions in the street in roaming.
Dogs in heat. Rabid, foaming.
A beast caged in the heart of the city.
The body of his mother rotting in the summer ground..
He fled the town.
He went down south and crossed the boarder.
Left the chaos and disorder..
Back there.. over his shoulder.
One morning he awoke.. in a green hotel..
With a strange creature groaning beside him.
Sweat oozed from it's shiny skin.
Is everybody in? (crowd: yeah!)
The ceremony is about to begin.
Wake up!
You can't remember where it was.. had this dream stopped.
The snake was pale, gold.. glazed and shrunken.
We were afraid ta touch it.
The sheets were hot, dead prisons.
And she was beside me.
Old.. She's no.
Young.
Her dark, red hair.
The white, soft skin.
Now..
Run to the mirror in the bathroom! Look!
She's coming in here.
I can't live through each slow century of her moving.
I let my cheek slide down.. the cool.. smooth tile.
Feel the good, cold, stinging blood.
The smooth.. hissing.. snakes.. of raaaaiiinn!
("A Little Game" organ intro)
Once I had.
A little game.
I like to crawl.
Back in my brain.
I think you know.
The game I mean.
I mean the game.
Called go insane.
You should try.
This little game.
Just close your eyes.
Forget your name.
Forget the world.
Forget the people.
And we'll erect.
A different steeple.
This little game.
Is fun to do.
Just close your eyes.
No way ta lose.
And I'm right here.
I'm goin' to.
Release control.
We're breakin' through.
(extended "Hill Dwellers" intro)
(This is where Jim swings on a rope from the balcony to the stage)
(crowd cheers)
(Jim continues from stage)
Way.. back deep into the.. brain.
Back.. where there's never.. any rain.
And the rain falls gently on the town and over the heads of all of us.
And in the labyrinth of streams beneath.
The quiet, unearthly presence of nervous hill dwellers..
In the gentle hills around.
Fossils abounding.
Reptiles.
Cool air heights.
Each.. house repeats a mold.
Win-dows rolled.
A beast car locked in against morning.
All now sleeping.
Rugs silent.
Mirrors vacant.
Dust.. blind under the beds.. of lawful couples.. wound in sheets.
And daughters.
Smug with semen.
Eyes in their nipples.
Wait!
There's been a slaughter here.
Don't stop to speak or look around.
Your gloves and fan are on the ground.
We're going out of town.
We're going on the run.
And you're the one.. I want ta come.
("Not To Touch The Earth" bass intro)
Not to touch the Earth.
Not ta see the sun.
Nothin' left ta do but.. run, run, run, let's run.
Let's run.
House upon da hill.
Moon is lyin' still.
Shadows of the trees.
Witnessin' da wild breeze.
Come on baybeh run.. with.. me.
Let's run.
Run with me.
Run with me.
Run with me.
Let's run.
Ahhh!
The mansion is warm at the top a' the hill.
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there.
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs..
a'.. won't know a thang 'till ya get inside.
Dead president's corpse in da driver's car.
The engine runs on glue and tar. (Ray: whoo)
Come on along not.. goin' very far.
Ta the East.. ta meet the tsar.
Run with meeee.
Run with me.
Run with me.
Let's run.
Ahhh..
AHHHHHH!
Some outlaws live by da side of a lake.
The minister's daughter.. love with the snake.
Who lives in a well by da side a' the road.
Wake up girl.. we're almost home, yeah.
Sun-sun-sun.
We should see.. the gates.. by mornin'.
We should be in-side by evenin'.
Burn-burn-burn.
Moon. Moon. Moon.
I will get you..
Soon.
Soon.
Soon.
I am the lizard king.
I can do anything.
("Rivers and Highways" music)
We-e came do-wn the rivers and highways.
We came do-wn from forests and falls.
We-e came do-wn from.. Carson and Springfield.
We-e came do-wn from.. Phoenix enthralled.
And I can tell you.. the names of the kingdom.
I-I can tell you.. the things.. that you know.
Listening fo-or a fist full of.. silence.
Cli-imbing va-alleys.. into the sha-ade.
For seven years I dwelt in the loose palace of exile.
Playing strange games with the girls of the island.
Now I have come again to the land of the fair.. and the strong.. and the wise.
Brothers and sisters of the pale forest.
Children of night.
Who among you will run with the hunt.
Now night.. arrives with her purple legion.
Retire now to your tents.. and to your dreams.
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth.. and I want.. to be ready.
Goodnight.

(microphone connection lost/long pause)
Ahh. We were temporarily disconnected. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. The management has asked me.. to.. have the aisles cleared. Have you regain your seats again. Mr. Morrison said that he'd be delighted to come out and do another number without house lights. But may we ask you please now as a request of the management if you would, once again, take seats even though they're not your own. Please cooperate. Let people pass in front of you. And if you ju.. if you would mind staying in your seats for this number there should be no problem again with the management. And may I relay their thanks to you for this. Unfortunately there can be no seating in any aisle. That you must be in.. the proper seats. So if you would we shall continue.
