lyrics

PSYCHIATRIST Terrifying, isn't it, the waiting.
ON THE VIDEO SCREEN
. WE SEE A SUPER-8 FILM. HOSPITAL
HALLWAY:
Little boy limps down the hospital hall. He looks up. We hear his voice
echoing
Little Boy Mom?
PSYCHIATRIST
(to DEVIL through this speech the DEVIL becomes
more uncomfortable.)
Is it the waiting that gets you? Waiting for the next one. The next
soul that is? It's hard isn't it? The waiting is unbearable. Like with
children. It’s the waiting that gets them in the end. Children would
remain children for ever if they never had to wait. The fear of the
unknown is nothing compared to the waiting. they can’t wait, ...So
instead they drop right on down the rabbit hole or venture into the
forest dropping crumbs or follow the yellow brick road, and along the
way to grandmother's house, you talk to strangers, assuming that
everything will turn out right in the end. Is that what happened? I can't
blame you. It’s better than waiting around. I think your fear is
blocking you. Tell me who you really are?
DEVIL: The Devil
PSYCHIATRIST Is that a
little devil or a big devil?
DEVIL The Only Devil.
PSYCHIATRIST You know, 'Life is a process of recognizing
oneself. Then Forgiving one's self for what we recognize our self to
be.'
DEVIL I hope you're making good money off your self-help book. Hippy
kids eat that shit up.
PSYCHIATRIST I am.
(PSYCHIATRIST takes out a cigarette.)
PSYCHIATRIST Do you mind?
Little Boy Goes to Hell by Mark Nichols June 5th, 1998
Unable to wait any longer, LITTLE BOY packs a hobo stick with his
gun and clock and decides to go explore
DEVIL
I'll use my Demons Wearing Black
With Six black crows and Six Black Hats
I’m not afraid of who I am
Oh, thank you Mister Psychiatrist Man
As LITTLE BOY enters the mouth of Hell, he realizes his legs are no
longer crippled and dances.
PSYCHIATRIST
(To LITTLE BOY)
Be careful along the way! You never know who might be waiting to
nibble your toes!
The SIX run screaming toward the BOY, who flees down the path.
There was a little boy
and a naughty boy was he
he ran away from home
to see what he could see
Song ends. All exit. On the video we see a grainy film of the boy
walking unsteadily towards the camera. The film ends abruptly.
