Lonesome Liz Sells her Soul

Barker:

Step right up! Come see this!
It’s damnation of Lonesome Liz.
The way she came to this ghoul filled jail
like Faust, is a tragic tale.

Sound wind

The wind blows low. The air grows cold.
Watch, look, she’s selling her soul!

Liz: I curse the Heavens, the Stars and the Sun.
I vow I’ll see the Devil’s work done.
I promise to spend the rest of my days
keeping the damned in unquiet graves.
If I can only have what I want most,
the command of the hands of a legion of ghosts.

Devil: You won’t regret it, be assured
I’ll join you with a ghost who takes the damned on tour,
a Midway Boss from long ago
who runs what we call Satan’s Sideshow.

Sound, screams join wind

Barker: She’ll get her wish. I sense a few
damned souls uncollected, is one of them you?

Devil: What Liz doesn’t know yet but will soon know well
is that she’s soon going to Hell.
