Paul Shapera
The Suicide
[Narrator enters and takes us from Jasper into a small flat in New Albion where one of the most prominent girls from the Voodoopunk party is sitting alone in her room listening to an old fashioned radio.]

[Narrator]
Jasper’s song that he made
All the Dolls in the town play
And it broadcasts all throughout the day

There’s a girl in a small flat
With a cruel father who’s quite sad
And she listens and feels a deep compassion

[The sound of the song Elysian Night is heard playing over the radio. It’s interrupted by the father violently yelling at the girl. After it finishes, she sings quietly.]

[Amelia]
A place I cannot bear to be
Where loneliness, brutality
And days of endless, dismal sky
Just go by and by and by

Another place I never knew
A distant, silent, sweet refuse
With razor, rope and no lament
I go to where my sorrows end

Elysium
The silent sigh beyond this life
Elysian night
Elysium
The girl who cries her last goodbye
Elysian night

[Amelia commits suicide]
