The show's over. Next time, bring a camera and buy a ticket. Look, can't we go somewhere and talk? No, I don't date men. Because I pose like I do. You get... ideas. You're all alike. No, not all of us. Okay, so maybe you're better than most. Maybe not. I still hate all men. After what one did to me once. Have you forgotten? Well, have you? No, I haven't forgotten. Neither have I. I carry the memory around with me. But you can't hide yourself away here forever. Listen, Galahad, I trusted a man once, all the way! What did it get me? He gets his head filled with jealous lies and I get -- You have to forget! -- How can I forget!? I carry the memory around with me. You don't even turn away from me, like everyone else does. To me you're not ugly. I see only beauty in you. You have lovely body and a face that can be made beautiful again also. I've heard that song before.

about

Three tracks of spooky horror-movie-inspired chiptune rock. Kind of like if Goblin scored a movie with Game Boys. All tracks were later remastered and re-released on the FUZZY MONSTERS album.
