[Lyric Note]

Scene II

A traveling sideshow carnival

The dazzling lights and sounds of a carnival. Pollock arrives, wide-eyed

[Pollock]

The hollow at night, a blood swollen moon

An organ grinder and his chimp

Churn out of tune

Carnival lights, a barker's decree:

"Pickled punks, oddities, freaks

All in one ring!"

I've heard there exists

A set of Siamese twins

Sisters sharing everything—wow!

[Lyric Note]

A bevy of Harlots enter, dancing

[Pollock]

An old cabaret, the dance of the bee

Like a swan I float up on stage

Looking for honey

A back alleyway, cloaked in red light

Coquettes in concupiscent dress

Bat their eyes

[Lyric Note]

A spunky Harlot catches Pollock's eye; he grabs her as the other Harlots hover around, concealing them from view

After a moment, he breaks free to find The Sisters Cecil, twin sisters conjoined at the head, sitting stoically in a sideshow booth

[Pollock]

What have we here in my midst?

So, it's true, you do exist

Thoughts long lost come crashing in...

[Pollock & Young Cassius]

A birthday boy in the month of June

Blew out his cake, his wish came true

Splattered blood all over the floor

[Young Cassius]

Gemini, what have you done?

What horrid wolves we've become

Oh, oh, oh

[screams]

Wow, wow, wow!

[The Sisters Cecil]

We are the alone

We have no one, only ourself

Never ever leave me

Without the Sun, there is no Moon

[Cecil I]

Without a me

[Cecil II]

There is no you

[The Sisters Cecil]

Oh, oh, oh

[Pollock, reflective]

Wow wow wow
