NEV
GOD AM I SCARED.
TICK TOCK, HEART STOP, SHELL SHOCK
KNOCK KNOCK, WHO'S THERE?
BOMBHEAD
TAKE YOUR PLACE IN THE GAME SHOW
BE WARNED AND BEWARE
YOU'RE A BOMB IN A SCARE.
LEADEN CLOAK
YOU FALL BEHIND UPON YOUR MISSION.
LISTEN. LISTEN.
HEAR YOUR FATHER'S FOOTSTEP QUICKEN
TO THE CALL OF THE WOODS.
HEAD-ON-BACKWARDS
HEAD HIM OFF AND SPARE THE TORTURE
OF SUICIDE ORCHARD
IN THAT ORCHARD GO HE SHOULDN'
HE'LL BE WOODEN FOR GOOD
SOULS
IT'S NOT A DREAM, YOU WON'T AWAKEN
STAY AND SLAY THE MAD ALSATION
TO THE DEATH, SAVE VIRGIL'S BACON
SCARED!
NEV
ELECTRICALLY CHAIRED
HEART STOPPING, DOOR LOCKING, HEAD STOCKING
KNOCK KNOCK, WHO'S THERE?
NAILS
TAKE YOUR PLACE IN THE GAME SHOW
A PRIZE TO BE WON. A NIGHTMARE BEGUN.
BONDAGE, dragging chains, gives NEV a sparkly ring.
BONDAGE
GIVE THE RING UPON YOUR FINGER
TO A KING OF A SINGER
NOT A MOMENT LONGER LINGER
TIME BEATS HER WING.
HEAD-IN-VICE gives NEV a shield.
HEAD-IN-VICE
FIELD THE BLOW WITH SHIELD OF LEATHER
FOR YOUR FATHER, ONWARD EVER!
BLOCK OF ICE gives him a sword.
BLOCK OF ICE
WIELD THE SWORD AND GIVE UP NEVER
IT'S A FLESH AND BLOOD THING.
SOULS
IT'S NOT A DREAM, YOU WON'T AWAKEN
THIS IS FACT, NOT ALLEGATION
COME AND CLAIM YOUR BLOOD RELATION
SCARED!
NEV steps up his pace. He has to dodge raining fire.

FRANK & RICK burst in on NEV. They are the triple-headed, dual-guitared, Heavy Metal act CERBERUS THE DOG, who’s job it is to guard the portals of The Heartbreak Hotel. Yes, Triple-headed. A large, ‘soft toy’, Bull-Dog’s head protrudes centrally from the collar of the giant suit of denim in which they are both encased (‘Cerberus The Dog’ emblazoned across the back). They pogo up and down and smack their heads together.
RICK
ME AND MY BROTHER PUT OUR FEET REAL CLOSE TOGETHER
FRANK
HEAD DOWN, HEAD DOWN, GOT TO KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN
RICK
HANG OUR AXES SO THEY'RE SOMEWHERE NEAR THE FLOOR
FRANK
TRY AND HOLD A CHORD DOWN, AN OPEN CHORD DOWN
RICK
ME AND OUR RICK WE GET A KICK FROM GUITAR HEROES
