Gypsy Dogs 05:31
GYPSY DOG We rose up from the wreckage We moved like gypsy dogs We’re hunting for something we can call home We wrote the writing on the wall We scraped the barrel dry We forged the wrenches for monkeys to throw MOUSTACHIO We lost ourselves in the city We turned away from the crowd We plunged through the nighttime horny and stoned The dust was dry as acid The nights were smooth as skin We heard our hearts pound through the din Whatever we say, whatever we sing You’ll catch the drift in our eyes You may not buy it, our one last ditch bid But we’ll see you all in the end GYPSY DOG We rose up from the wreckage We moved like gypsy dogs We’re hunting for something we can call home The swirling dust cloaks the scene and parts again, revealing a Greeters Station. Grizzled gatekeepers welcome (and occasionally offer spankings to) a long line of dusty pilgrims, most of whom have driven hundreds of miles to the festival.
2.
THE HAT SPEAKS BULLDADA Very rousing, very carnivalesque. But if you think a party in the desert is going to assuage your cosmic homesickness you’ve been hitting the kool-aid a little hard. STETSON It’s not a cult or a carnival. The spectacle is not a substitute for experience. BULLDADA Hey Mr. Festival Founder, haven’t I seen you on YouTube? STETSON When we stop consuming we create. And a living culture is born. BULLDADA Are you trying to tell me that throwing some kind of Mad Max sock-hop in a dustbowl is gonna fix our wounded society? You gotta be in a zip lock cult to believe that shit. STETSON What else you gonna believe? The world around us is falling apart. This is a chance, a shot. We’re running out of time. So burning a man isn’t such a bad plan. Adversity brings us together. We have to build on the visions we dream. When we burn the old we can forge a new reality. [Are those printed tickets the greeters are collecting? What rights and responsibilities do they enshrine? Only a lawyer would bother reading them.]
3.
WELCOME HOME (TRANSMUTATION ZONE) DARKO This is a transmutation zone You never know what lies in store I hope you have prepared yourself To give and take and give some more This is a transmutation zone Come on! There’s no spectators in this show We’re all diving in the deep end here Leave no trace when you leave this place And hydrate till your piss is clear SPRITE and DARKO I hope you have prepared yourself Hit all the malls along the highway Got sunscreen shades and bicycles Got condoms, tarps and cans of beans This is a transmutation zone Come on! GREETERS Have a little revel, work, revel and greet, work, revel and drink, fuck around, greet greet... [A bullhorn-wielding bunny appears, taunting the man they call Stetson, the cofounder of the desert festival.]
4.
The Ticket 01:21
TICKET LAWYERS You agree to abide by the following rules: All vehicles entering and exiting the gates are subject to search by the gate staff. You agree to follow all federal, state, reservation and county laws. Commercial vending, drugs, alcohol, M-80s, fireworks and rockets, and all other explosives, prohibited. And by using this ticket you voluntarily assume the risk of serious injury or death. That’s right, we said death. [Two pilgrims hope out of a dusty SUV. Definitely newbies.]

JANET It took two years for my friend to convince me I needed to be here With my child gone and husband run off After seven long years he ran My friend thought it would heal me, release me Renew me, reveal me “Embrace the change” she said Then she flaked SPRITE and JANET Cornflaked and snowflaked And mandrake and rattlesnake Heartache and jailbreak But don’t cry for my sake ‘Cause everyone aches and sighs And everyone flakes and lies Eventually everyone waits And gets what they want Well gets what they need Everyone gets what they need The three newbies wander toward a large Central Camp full of Burners. To one side, grinning freaks in bright furry clothes lie in a puppy pile. Call them E-tards. On the other side stands a group of snarling, leather-clad handy-babes. Call them Stomp Grrlz. They are cooler than you.
7.
BUD Look at that camp in distance It’s like a city of tarps, holy fuck! We’re like American gypsies Look at these beautiful freaks, I want a piece of it Nothing grows here But dreams and desires It’s time to party BROOK So that’s why we came To fry our brains in the sun? So you could ogle the babes Is that what you call fun? Are these folks really that free Or are they just running away? Why the fuck am I here anyway?
8.
Burn It Up 04:33
[snarling, leather-clad handy-babes. Call them Stomp Grrlz. They are cooler than you.] BROOK Who are these people? What do they seek? Who are they kidding? Is this relief? BURNERS I’m pissed and half insane And I’m goin’ down the drain I feel lost and stuck between The camera and the TV screen Want to sink into the wonder Not this debt I’m buried under Let’s get high so we can find The Coney Island of the mind E-TARDZ Want to build and not to bury All the dreams that I still carry STOMP GRRLZ Just want to fuck and drink some beer And party beyond hope and fear BULLDADA Don’t trust hippies or the punks Aw fuck it all...our ship is sunk BURNERS Burn it up and burn it down Bless yourselves with ashes Let it burn Ashes ashes comin’ down Dust is only dust So let it burn Who are these people What do they seek Who are they kidding Is this relief? We got food and drugs and shelter We got gear for nasty weather We got tiki lights and toys We got decadence and joy We got devils in our closets We got no one here to stop us We got plenty of confusion We got paranoid delusions But never mind, we don’t really care We’ll torch it anyway You know that even junk will burn And keep the dark at bay And warm us through the night And gather everyone Into the fire of change Burn it up and burn it down Bless yourselves with ashes Let it burn Ashes ashes comin’ down Dust is only dust So let it burn The dust returns, but much fiercer now. Eyeballs grow useless, particulate matter invades nostrils,

Dr. Volcano 03:25
Dr. Vulcano You’re making me feel real gone-Oh God You make me want to bang on steel You steam punk, Victorian laced man-hunk You make me wanna boil up steam And scream and snarl like a gutter punk Damn! I’m turned on when you weld your junk, Vul-cano, Bang me like a hammer, Vulcano Ring me like a bell, Vulcano Shake me like a magic eight ball Your ass is tighter than Andy Warhol, yes, Oh yes Vulcano. Vulcano! You’re so aloof You makes my blood go through the roof So strong and silent Makes me want to get violent Because you’re sexy So damn sexy You make me go ooh ooh Cause of what you do oh You make me go ooh ooh Just what you do ooh Did you hear? Did you hear? His Pandemonium runs on sewage and beer It may look like crap but its art just the same If you miss it go off you’re totally lame. Did you hear? Did you hear? He’s gonna top the thing he did last year When he shot those rockets off from his desert machine That looked like Nemo’s submarine-- The most psychotic thing I’ve ever seen. (hitting his thumb) Ow! Shit. Vulcano! When you make wonders You make me wonder Who you are inside You’re so dreamy, steamy, Gonna blow our minds tonight, our minds tonight. Vulcano! You don’t want to hook up with that bitch I’ll be the one to flip your switch. Well, I’ll ignite your propane. Gonna tie down your shade. Cause love is not born its made. Dr. Vulcano, You make me feel so gone-Oh God You make me want to bang on steel You steam punk, Victorian laced manhunk You make me wanna boil up steam And scream and snarl like a gutter punk Damn! I’m turned on when you weld your junk, Vul-cano, Bang me like a hammer, Vulcano Ring me like a bell, Vulcano Shake me like a magic eight ball Your ass is tighter than Andy Warhol, yes, Oh yes Vulcano. I can’t believe how far he’s flown On hot air, trash, and testosterone Sure his machine is a hit But my Gizmo is cool as shit! But cool aint free In an attention economy I’m scraping the barrel dry I try to score but I can’t get past try. “Calm is Strife (Elemental Trial1)” The time has come to stir the pot And split what is from what is not. Strife is calm, and calm is strife A storm of dust can change your life.

[The dust returns, but much fiercer now. Eyeballs grow useless, particulate matter invades nostrils, and half-built tents are blown apart. It may be a metaphor, or a premonition.] WIND DIVA Strange weather Hangs overhead Hot dust or hard rain Blows from empty skies Is it the shift or a shattering What will it bring? In the harsh light of dawn In the bluster of the long hot day Strange weather, strange weather Strange weather Hangs overhead Dust storm, it falls fast Blows from empty skies Is it a call to arms Or just a fling down history’s Spiral stairs? I wonder what will it bring What we did here In the long, hot day Strange weather, strange weather [The newbies are not happy. They are learning that there is no hiding from the dust we are.]
14.
SO THAT’S WHY WE CAME BROOK So that’s why we came? To fill our lungs up with dirt To dick around with our tents Are you really that dumb? And who the hell thinks it’s fun To camp in Nothing anyway? BUD I don’t know why they put on the party in this godforsaken place anyway [Bud’s random query sparks a cosmic flashback that sucks you and everyone else through a wormhole in space-time back to Baker Beach, San Francisco. Stetson and his pal Moustachio are pounding together a wooden man.]
15.
Baker Beach 01:21
BAKER BEACH STETSON The sea is calm tonight The western sun has sunk The foghorns blow, I don’t know Where is the sweet sound to be heard Where is the pivot that moves the world? The foghorns blow... I don’t know [The two friends light the figure. A crowd gathers. Everyone tells their own story (like always).]
16.
MISINTERPRETATION MASHUP BEACH BURNERS It’s performance art, man But he’s taken it to the beach Like a hobo hootenanny, right on dude! He’s burning away his karma It’s a post-punk, post-industrial, post-ironic immolation celebration Tongue and cheek? Hmmmm... This is fucking awesome! Anyone got any beer? Burn it down, burn it down Burn the sucker to the ground! A bunch of hippies, just a bunch of hippies Don’t you know the Sixties came and went? Let it go This is too weird, I don’t belong Let’s get out of here He’s a jilted lover, desperately trying to build community in an age of isolation It’s fairly obvious Ancient yagna, healing fire Flaming one, source of life A ritual, a flame of magic A call to all the Pagans and Wiccans to converge Burn the man! Burn the man! [Time passes, in the artificially sped up manner of dreams or movies. It is a few years later, and another man is ready to burn on the beach.]
17.
The Pyre 01:51
THE PYRE BEACH BURNERS Rubber tires and Christmas trees Mannequins and kerosene Safety nets, tubs of grease Burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it Let it burn Ashes, ashes, dust to dust Flaming god of love and lust Melting crust, yes we must Burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it Burn it up and burn it down Bless yourself with ashes, let it burn Ashes, ashes, coming down Dust is only dust so let it burn SCARECROW MAN Ah-ah-ah... [Officer Friendly breaks up the proceedings. Frustration reigns.]
18.
A Fine Line 00:31
FINE LINE ELEMENTALS This may be the moment you’ve been waiting for This mess is really lame But awesome just the same From here on you’ve had a vision There’s a fine line Between fucking up and a mission [A glint appears in Moustachio’s eye.]
19.
I KNOW A PLACE MOUSTACHIO I know a place A long gone ancient lake Far beyond the mountains On the edge of the law Empty and cracked A mirror of the sky Where monster trucks rage And rocket cars break the bounds of sound Beyond the pale Beyond the law Beyond the world Beyond the pale An alkali void (What good’s a void if you can’t fill it up?) An empty mirror (We like to see ourselves in broken glass) A blank canvas (So we can paint the town a devilish red) A blazing waste (And wasted we will be) I know a place (Where you don’t have to worry) Ain’t nobody gonna kick you off (Never have to worry) They won’t even know we’re there (Anarchy is honest) Cacophony is gonna eat this up (Pass the ammunition) This is where we’re gonna break on through I know a place (Burn it up and burn it down) I know a place [Like all trips (and dust storms) the flashback ends. The sun begins to set behind the mountains and the whole city starts barking like wolves. The newbies are unprepared for the evening. But flamboyant reinforcements arrive.]

21.
INSIDE OUT JEAN/GENIE and GAZEBO MANGO FANDANGO It used to be a desert out here A low rent look of khaki Denim and scruff But then the drag queens came And fabulosity reigned Feather boas and parasols Lingerie and stilettos Rubber thongs and vermilion lace Perversion and grace Leopard stockings and Chinese robes A menagerie of cheap shades Bones in your nose You know anything goes out here Anything goes out here Purple pudenda and dangling dongs Hippie dippy beads and formal gowns Thigh high boots and fairy wings Playboy robes and vinyl skirts So short they lift on their own Red hot panties on Santa Claus A strap-on for Jesus H. Christ Accessories for the body and mind So the body won’t mind you at all Accessories for the body and mind So the body won’t mind you at all Every man and woman Every guy and girl And tranny and tomboy And oldster running wild Is a blinky blinky star Strutting out on this dusty stage Shining out from this dusty stage Inside is out, outside is in The costume that you wear Is your marvelous, ridiculous, maniacal, lascivious, ostentatious dreamtime skin A romper room of mystics out here Aliens, angels, and beasts Devils and gods Halloween for the horny and high And fabulously hot Porn clowns and bunny boys Pirates, vampires, cupcakes From the heights of freakiness You have reached into the breach You as you never have been Cause you’ll never really know who you really are Til you manifest your avatar Every man and woman Every guy and girl And tranny and tomboy And oldster running wild Is a blinky blinky star Shining out in this dusty void Calling out from this dusty void Inside is out, outside is in The costume that you wear Is your marvelous, ridiculous, maniacal, lascivious, ostentatious dreamtime skin [This tent looks fun, let’s check it out...] dongs

Poison Path 06:30
THE POISON PATH SHAMONICA When I was an innocent child Mama done told me, warned me about the ways of sin Mama would scold me for being wild And tell me to take my medicine Which I did They say that Eve ate the apple Cause the serpent seduced her with his lies They say the fruit was forbidden And by eating the fruit she would die We would all die But what if Eve were the first one to dare? And what if the snake were the bringer of light? And what if the fruit just opened her eyes, all three of her eyes? Put that in your peace pipe and light it light it light it on up What if the world is a vision A dream from beginning to end Why not shake the dust, the veils from your eyes And make poisons and demons your friends? A morning cup of joe The tiny line of blow A hit or two, you know Intensifies the show A long time ago In the Hollywood hills They swallowed the crystal light They spiked the punch They drove the bus Into the center of your mind The poison path The shaman’s brew The witch’s stew Pandora’s box in a bowl Straight to your mind Let me know what you find On the other side of the looking glass Eat me, drink me, gorge on my psychedelic life force They say that your brain is a filter They say your nerves are technology So, baby, why not press all the buttons Punch in all the codes, do the math, the science Pull the switch, turn on the lights Oh the places you’ll go The things you will think The creatures you’ll meet Oh the potions you’ll drink When you take the poison path [Thoroughly confused, the newbies have no choice but to hop on to the nearest art car. The vehicle resembles an enormous yellow duck festooned with condoms. (Get it? A rubber ducky!!! Har-deehar- har...)]
24.
Far Tonight 07:06
FAR TONIGHT (THE ESPLANADE SONG) CANDYFLIP We’re gonna go far tonight Gonna guzzle it down tonight There’s so much to do and so many ways to do it It’s like chasing a star through the sky Or distracting yourself with distraction If you keep your eyes open and blazing you’ll see The footwork of synchronicity This is the city you’ve heard about The neon nitty gritty And the freaks are out A great big blinky town A labyrinth of clowns For your amusement and amazement Stimulation and engagement Remember you’re the entertainment too Here’s to the death march of fun! BUD We’re gonna rage hard tonight We’re gonna party past morning light I’ll be the mack Cause they’ll know where I’m at, that’s right With my sweet furry cowboy hat And the whiskey in my camel pack Not to mention I already dropped LSD This’ll be so damn rad for me BROOK This might be nothing but smoke and mirrors Or society’s grinding gears Loneliness is not an excuse for Vegas And everyone’s in their own world Running round like a lost boy or girl There are so many losers with stupid to burn I wonder if I will get my turn JANET Don’t know where we are tonight I don’t even know if it’s right I’ve seen some strange things Cabbages and kings And I’d like to be thirty feet tall Bouncing round like a gelatin ball Maybe go until I hit a mountain or wall I don’t know how I just thought that at all CANDYFLIP We could kick some ass in the Thunderdome We could spank some ass in a smut shack We could move our ass to a dance machine We could wipe our ass in a shit shack We could genuflect before Megavolt Or chase down my DJ We could meditate on the cosmic design Of some LEDs in the clay We could remember our dead In the temple instead Or get lost along the way And if we get bored, never fear We can always piss and moan in our beer And remember how very much better it was To be pissing and moaning last year Here’s to the city you’ve heard about The neon nitty gritty And the freaks are out A great big blinky town A labyrinth of clowns For your amusement and amazement Stimulation and engagement Remember you’re the entertainment too Here’s to the death march of fun! [The art car deposits the newbies at a colorful cabaret in the outer playa, dubbed The Alchemical Dependence. MC Phoenix has taken the stage.]

28.
DON’T SEE ME JANET Its so ticky tacky The keyboards clacking The 60 hertz hum of the humdrum drone I’m all alone in a cubicle contraption A node in a net reeling me in Is it a sin to seek salvation In the smallest words sung to the air? Cause there’s more to me than all of them So much more to feel But they don’t see me No they don’t see me The screen is a dream distorted Data desire deferred I realize and I fantasize About finding my voice in a storm Not captured on disc Not hotlinked or twittered But screaming raw in the howling wind Its not a sin to seek salvation In the loudest words sung to the air A heart so large Cause there’s more to me than all of them So much more to feel But they don’t see me No they don’t see me [The next performer is the dreadheaded Antimony, just back from the Amazon. There is a peacock feather in her fedora.]
29.
THE END OF THE LINE ANTIMONY The spiral dance is a twisted strand Double trouble DNA band The corkscrew unwinds Grapes of the vine The sparkling wine of your spine Uncorked, uncoiled A ladder ascending Stitching and mending The ties that bind The code of creation Programming us all for major mutation The end of the cycle The archangel Michael Is splicing us all with his blade But don’t be afraid Remixed and remade We will dance to the beat of the final parade We will dance to the beat of the endless parade Spring forward, fall back Turning and turning The widening groove Makes me want to move I really want to move Outta this game they make us play The Babylon scam that continues to lay Waste to the spaceship earth we ride Galaxy class, energy-mass Woven together in time A moment of grace The clock is losing its face Gotta replace the calendar pages With the spell of Mayan mages The spinning wheels of ancient ages And the days of the sages of old Spring forward, fall back The timebomb is ticking The serpent recoils Chasing its tail through the tree of life The endless strife That we bring on and on and on And on and on and on Last stop Kali Yuga Twenty-twelve seconds to go Last stop Kali Yuga Twenty-twelve seconds to go The end of the line, there’s no more time To not do what you will So stop making deals Live in the world that you want to be real [During Antimony’s prophecy, Bud, high as a kite, follows a fetching young thing out of the tent (will-o’-the-wisp!). Alone, Brook meets Antimony, who melts her resistances. From out of nowhere, a vibrant parade of feral fashionistas descends, magically transforming the grumpy Brook into an empowered avatar of herself. Outside is in.]
30.
ANTIMONY You just take off your armor And shed your skin Indulge your fairy tale urge Let yourself merge With the wild masquerade Of the spirit parade Fantasia of glitter and shade THE SEED OF ME BROOK I stuck myself in a mirror Rejecting the world outside Now it’s come vivid and clear That world I turned off Was the seed of me The man that I thought was mine Is a small boy lost on his own The girl that I thought was me Is just the mask I wear ANTIMONY and BROOK Every man and woman Every guy and girl And tranny and tomboy And oldster running wild Is a blinky blinky star Shining out from this dusty void Calling out from this dusty void Inside is out Outside is in The costume that you wear Is your marvelous, ridiculous, maniacal, lascivious, ostentatious dreamtime skin [As Antimony and Brook cavort, a middle-aged photographer sticks his camera close to Brook’s now naked breasts and takes a shot. Smooth move buddy.]
31.
MALE GAZE BROOK Why are you trying to capture my body? Why do you need to steal my face? I am not here to feed your fantasies Your hunger for something to make you feel real I am not a picture to mount on your wall I am not an image to mount in your mind The whole world is your playground But we’re not just toys in a game What you’re trying to capture escapes you The moment you look through the lens I don’t want to be real for you And I don’t want to be fake What do you want from me? PHOTOGRAPHER For guys like me a glimpse of you Is a lifeline in a labyrinth To take a slice of your light Is a taste from the table Where truth and beauty break bread [Meanwhile, Bud wanders alone in deep playa, swallowed up in a psychedelic spin cycle. Who knew the void had a voice, or that it used a bull-horn?]
