Lyrics
Raven: We should have a dinner party! Lloyd: A dinner party Sarah: Oh I love parties Raven: Call the old crew, celebrate our new playhouse. Welcome our new family Marjolein: You mean like parties with people? Raven: We can have a big dinner party chorus and everything Sarah: What’s he talking about? Lloyd: He’s being meta Raven: A little dinner celebration Friends and c*cktails, food, libation Candlelight, hors d'oeuvres, and laughter too A little dinner celebration Chatter, jokes, and some flirtation Some social stimulation might just do Invitations, friends, and conversation Laugh away frustration for a night Decorations, some intoxication Social medication with your wine Lloyd: I’ll be in charge of the menu Raven: We’ll need candles Marjolein: I’ll do wine Raven: And several aquariums, and maybe some burlesque dancers-- oh no, mimes! Marjolein: For a dinner party? Raven: Of course, we’ve got to give it a few perks Marjolein: And the melted cheese volcano? Lloyd: Everybody off to work! … Raven, Lloyd, Marjolein & Sarah: A little dinner celebration A feast fit for a coronation The gang comes round to chat the whole night through Invitations, friends, and conversation Laugh away frustration for a night Decorations, some intoxication Social medication with your wine Lloyd: So I found playing chess Was the only way to get My father to spend time with me I was lonely and sad So few comforts did I have I won tournaments and matches as a teen Later on in level 5 I would try to internalize The archetype of the strategist and more But it did things to me Made me cold made me angry And I can’t get back to who I was before Sarah: After mom died I feel That I stopped being quite real All my feelings are a show just like a clown I can’t tell where masks end And the real me might begin It’s just masks for me all the way on down So… what scares you the most? Lloyd: Oh, this meat monster I used to read about in one of my penny dreadfuls as a boy. Used to give me nightm- **Doorbell** Raven: Our first guest is here, it’s Isabela! Isabela: Raven, oh my dear, you look so scrumptious. Come on here Let me see you look great. Maybe you’re putting on some weight? Lloyd my darling man I miss our talks, you’re looking tan I always loved your stunning wit, Raven I loved you for your which Reminds me, voulez vous, I have a present here for you A gold chalice, its a skull, a viking lover from this fall We sacked Lemuria, and, oh my dears, how it was grand But Lloyd, my darling man, put a martini in my hand I sailed on the seas of distant worlds I’ve rode through deserts made of gold Oceans and caverns were my bedroom But you, my friends, are comfort for my soul Marjolein oh my, you look delish, the honor’s mine And Sarah dear, divine, what stunning fire in your eye I pop around here by and by, four months ago was the last time? Before that I was a mess, in a big hurry I had left This inquisition, oh what fun, there was a bishop and a nun And a pope, I all seduced, and the bishop’s mistress too Now I’ve come here from Sakund. A transmasc who is a khan He collects cities, oh the loot, but my darlings how are you? Scandals, my dears, it is my hobby I’ve ridden trolls out in the cold Crystal caverns were my bedroom But you, my friends, are comfort for my soul **Doorbell** Raven: Oh look, it’s Jill and Michael! Jill: Well boys you look great Michael: I hope we’re not here too late Jill & Michael: Oh you’re a sight for sore eyes I must say Jill: Here we’ve brought you some wine Michael: A little scotch on the side Jill & Michael: Let’s get this evening’s events underway Jill, Michael & Raven: Coming with the love and the groove, we missed this, we missed you It’s good to be here together, alive A little evening with friends, all here together again A little laughter and chatter and wine Jill: So I told Michael there are other ways to pay a goblin queen Michael: It was a weird night all right, but not the worst I’ve ever seen Sarah: Lloyds always talking about how it’s a dance, it’s a subtle dance Isabela: Lloyd’s an odd one, it's true, but you should give his advice a chance. His patience and delicate touch usually pay off Sarah: But that’s the problem with his advice. The forces that hold you down, they never give up power without a fight Raven: So the idea is to build an extra-dimensional carnival Michael: Oh, that’s great Marjolein: It’s insane, you should see the things that he collects Michael: I can’t wait Sarah: Oppressors can’t be reasoned with, power only understands force Isabela: But Sarah, we’re not talking about people. With nature, how are you going to go to war? Jill: He gets a lot of visions and I think he’s drinking a lot more Lloyd: Visions are tough to manage, so many intense emotions Jill: That’s for sure. They’re pretty sad, and especially his and there’s so many. I don’t know what to do Lloyd: I'm not sure if any of us really know, but... but at least he has you Sarah: There's the pit and there's the peak and it's up to you to decide on which one you wanna be Marjolein: I just think it’s so cool you’re a witch, I didn’t know they could be that gorgeous Jill: Oh, aren’t you the kind one? Marjolein: Oh god! I didn’t mean, I… uh… oh god I’m so embarra**ed! Isabela: I was thinking of heading out to one of the far strands for a bit Lloyd: That bump in your belly, is there anything you wanted to tell us? Isabela: Always the perceptive one. Promise me you won’t say a word to Raven Marjolein: They’re trying really hard, but it’s a hard thing to explain Jill: They adore you, and I can see why and if you ever need a break… I don’t know your tastes, but you can feel free to pop by my room? Marjolein: Your room? Jill: You know, at night… Marjolein: Why at night? Jill: Oh my god, you’re so bad at this. It’s adorable! Marjolein: Bad at wha... oh.... oh… ohh! Jill: No worries, just a little invite Michael: You seem to be holding it together though Raven: For the manicness keeping busy really helps Michael: And the depression? Raven: For some reason, proximity to Lloyd holds that off well Michael: It’s the Lovers archetype Raven: We stayed there too long Michael: Nothing to do but manage it from here Raven: Merrily we roll along Everyone: A little dinner celebration Friends and c*cktails, food, libation Candlelight, hors d'oeuvres, and laughter too A little dinner celebration Chatter, jokes, and some flirtation Some social stimulation just might do Invitations, friends, and conversation Laugh away frustration for a night Decorations, some intoxication Social medication with your wine Sarah: Hey, we should make another show. You know, like Caravan, but... better
