Lyrics by Arttu Karppanen with the help of ChatGPT. Lyrics are listing the names of over 20 short plays Lo-Stakes Showcase put up during 2024. Thus it seems at times to not make any sense. It’s not trying to be super clever, it’s a love letter to the little theatre troupe I’ve had a chance to be a part of. 🥰
Lo-Key Theatre’s Lo-Stakes Showcases in 2024 and the lyrics
| “Jack the Reaper” “Twa’s the Maid” “The Innate” “College Admission” “A View from the Bridge” “Misty Taste of Moonshine, Teardrop in My Eye” “Murderous Intent” “Smart? Nah” “Forks Reconnect” “Overrated Sex” “Pulp Smash” “Spanish Inquisition” “Three Martini Lunch” “When Love Arrives” “The Great Money Trick” “In Development” “Vampire and Reaper” “Psyche’s Sojourn” | Jack the Reaper casts his shadow, silent and innate, Twa’s the maid in the moonlight, her fate a twist of slate. College admission interview, a view from the bridge, Murderous intent lingers—on the Graters edge. Smart? Nah, he’s cunning, plays the deck to win. Forks reconnect when the games begin. [Chorus] Lo-stakes to perish, robs Lo-Key to merit. Murderous intent cuts cheese in every edit. Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes, The world spins on, but drama never dies. Overrated sex, pulp smash, and lies untold, Call the Spanish Inquisition, hearts turn cold. The great money trick, in development, sealing their fate, Vampire and reaper dance through the stage, a twisted tango of fate. Smart? Nah, his plans are just unhinged, Forks reconnect, the future’s on the fringe. [Chorus] A three-martini lunch, where whispers conspire, When love arrives, it ignites the fire. Psyche sojourn through shadows and lies, The stakes feel low, when every hero dies. Vampire’s death wish, a reaper’s scythe, Their fantasy played under a harsh stage light. [Chorus] |
