THE FIRST INTERLUDE § Where We Left Off

[Intro] ~ [Soft tape hiss] ~ [Turning pages] ~ [Distant piano motif] ~ [Warm vinyl crackle] Cut the Cards... [pause] 99 on the Line, Who's the fool this time? [pause] Bag of Shit, Pulled out by the magician. [pause] Their High Priestess, Drug-induced parkinsonism. [pause] The Devil Made Me Do It, That's all I'll admit. [pause] The House That Kept Me The hermits dream. [Instrumental Solo] Hanging Above Me, What does the hangman see? [pause] 9 Lost Ducks, The Star keeps them fucked. [pause] A Murder of Crows, Judgment puts on a show. [pause] Underneath the Moonlight, The Moon observes tonight. [pause] The Tower... Soul crushing power... [Long pause] ~ [Page turns] "The Major Arcana..." [Silence] "Right..." [pause] "Where we left off." [Music swells] ~ [Outro]
