CHOIR: When the fall fair comes to town!

KARNAK: Tonight, in penance. I will give them the chance to express not what were precive to be, but what they dreamt they were. Tonight we shall raise a middle finger to that most ruthless adjudicator called time.
OCEAN: Something doesn't feel quite right
CONSTANCE: A blur of colored spinning light
BOTH: My heart is racing
Pounding in my ears
MISCHA: Dizzy tingling Spinning round
MISCHA: Oh, where's the sky And where's the ground?
NOEL: The rabbit comes and then he
BOTH: Disappears
GIRLS: Total darkness
Spinning black
BOYS: Pushing forward
Pulling back
CONSTANCE: Falling through the air! I wonder
CHOIR: How can this be fair!?
CONSTANCE: Cotton candy
MISCHA: Rancid beer
OCEAN: Staring at the fun house mirror
NOEL: A flash of music Swirling everywhere
OCEAN: Stood in line Took forever
CONSTANCE: Buckled in They pulled the lever
CHOIR: Seconds later Floating through the air
RICKY: Then starting now To understand
CONSTANCE: Holy jeez! We never land!
OCEAN: Did someone spike my diet coke with pot?
BOYS: Screaming metal Broken wheels Sparks were flying Then it sealed
CONSTANCE: And then that sad and lonely creeping thought
CHOIR: My life is falling on the track! I know I'll never get it back! Falling through the air! I wonder how can this be Fair-air-air-air? Ah-Ahh-Ahhh-Ahhhh! Ah-Ahhhhh!!!!
! MYSTERIOUS VOICE: AHH-AH-AH AHH-AH-AH AHH-AH-AH AHH-AH-AH AHHHHH-AH!
OCEAN: What a load of freaking junk! That crusty carnie clearly drunk! Sue that fair for everything they've got!
NOEL: What's the point of even suing? Dead we're done, there's no undoing! Nothing left to do, except to rot!
MISCHA: Sex, oh god why did I wait?
OCEAN: Now I'll never graduate!
CONSTANCE: I hope I wiped my browser history clean!
CONSTANCE: Why I'd even go to class?
CHOIR: Algebra 12 kiss my ass!
MISCHA: Now I know what YOLO really means!
OCEAN: Carpe diem!
CHOIR: What a lovey theme!
NOEL: C'est la vie!
CHOIR: Life is just a . . . Just a dream Just a dream!
And then you're sailing through space
You don't know up from down
And you feel a little strange
From all that spinning round And everything you've loved And everything you've dreamed And everything you've feared And everything that seems so oh so terrifying Is far behind on the ground
Like our far from the city-little-itty-bitty-pretty-hometown Just a teeny tiny dot On a wee blue ball And we've all been spinning All been spinning
Spinning round and round and round
And round and round Round and round
OCEAN: As life was about to start Why did I get into that rickety cart?
It did not feel safe at all!
Tick-a tick-a, heard the crack . . .
CHOIR: Felt the drop, oh I know I'm never going back!
But What really happens? What happens after (THE FAAAALLLLLL!) Fall, fall, fall! (FAAALLLLLLL!) Fall, fall, fall! (AAH!) Fall!!
