The Robots Are Here... (nuvocoke@gmail.com)

(verse) we regret to inform you, a disaster has occurred, a weed born
virus has wiped out most of the performers... but, the show must go on,
so we'll let robots sing their songs, and, hopefully they won't burn out
their own rusting transformers...

(verse) Mr. Natural, he survived because S.F. General kept him alive by
replacing most of his body parts with titanium... and though he's no
longer completely organic, he's one hell of a music mechanic, creating
instruments that can blow themselves, finger themselves and self strum

(change) that old hippie Rainbow, he was the first one to go, but now,
somehow, his artwork lives & breathes & moves, (on its own), so, after
painted Krishna's invocation, we'll introduce the mechanation while a
portrait of Bob Marley, featuring the beatles, will set the groove...

(verse) thanks to Dr. Dream's enhanced A.I. technology we have retainened
her somewhat over-strained psychy, it has been replicated and saved to a
flashdrive, so, the Dr. is still on, on, on, on, ,,, though her corporeal
self is gone, gone, gone, ...the imaginarium still thinks she's alive

(verse) Charles Haymarket went fast with a fiery spark and a blinding
flash while playing a devilish solo on his guitar... and Gary Garrett,
so it seems, never awoke from his flying dream, apparently he can still
be viewed.. way out there amongst the stars...

(change) Side Street Ricky & Oliver were out busking on a street corner
when the affliction took them both to meet their maker, but, their maker
sent most of their pieces back after they almost gave him a heart attack,
once they find their fingers, they may join us a little later...

(verse) Lady Zeitgeist & Ryan Voss produced one final, fatal album, a
track or two shall be spun in memorium, Ryan Cassatta & Whorehey lived
the longest, being so young must have made 'em the strongest, dreads,
glasses, tats, and piercings... have been preserved for public display
and proudly hung, (right there on the wall)

(verse) Nightmare Joey wailed loud 'n clear 'til the grim reaper spiked
his beer, now that ol' harp o' his will play the blues no more... and
speaking of harps, Marko finally showed up, just in time to smoke one up
and end it... like all the others, flat dead on the floor...

(change) Jimmy G told one last joke, then choked on all the ganja smoke,
that photo of him and Willie are the last remnant... JoDiAnna lost her
voice, that second hand air was not her choice and Luchan apparently
found out the hard way... that Lu-can't...

(verse) Dandylion wrote a play, just before she passed away, documenting
all the misdeeds that had been done, little Maria, she was the smart one,
got herself a guard dog and a handgun... she's no longer stalked, bothered,
or followed by anyone...

(verse) Jennifer Glee was on her own planet and Peter Webster was out of
town, along with Jade they managed to avoid all that havoc at the Sacred
Grounds... Little Eddy came along the very next day and said, "what's
happened here?" on the street he ran into Danny who said, "don't worry
about it... can I buy you a beer?"

(change) now you may wonder how come johnny managed to keep out of this
mess, well, on that fate filled night it just happened that Sarah wasn't
feeling her best... so, lucky for him, he was quietly sitting with her
just passing time, when he talked to Teddy & Fiona, later on, they had
already cleaned up and were doing just fine...

(end) so now you know why the robots are here singing their songs...
it's because no matter what happens, the show must go on, no matter what
happens,the show must go on, no matter what happens, the show must go on
