Lyrics

​v. the visitor SHELOB ​and now, this is how things stood: ​poor lonely beckett stayed in his basement ​stewing in his darkness ​sinking further and further Into a pit of self-flagellating despair ​meanwhile shelob spun her webs ​feeding on poor beckett's gloom ​while the wolf slowly circled ​devising various schemes ​to try to get in and devour beckett whole (a knock at the door.) WOLF ​hello? is anyone home? BECKETT (sotto voce) ​don't move ​don't make a sound WOLF ​i'm looking for a mister eriks andersons ​this is his last known addrеss ​you got any information on him? BECKETT ​don't let anyone in WOLF ​i'm masked. no need to worry— SHELOB ​strangеr at the door beckett? BECKETT ​that's death out there! SHELOB ​once a month or so ​he'd try to perk himself up ​through the manic ordering ​of new age self-help books ​crystals ​tarot cards ​candles ​incense ​celtic bells and an aeolian harp— BECKETT ​​putting my amazon prime to work! SHELOB ​​trying to cleanse his spirit ​he had basically stopped bathing at this point— (phone ring.) SADIE (as work) ​beckett? it's work again ​hey, i know this is a hard time. but we need those reports…give ​me a call BECKETT ​i could feel myself slipping ​oh yeah i could feel myself slipping hard (phone ring.) SADIE (on the phone, as sister) ​beckett? it's your sister ​i've got some good news for once. we're getting married! ​obviously we're not gonna do a big wedding. just family and ​close friends, outside. hope you can make it ​anyway give me call, haven't heard your voice in a while BECKETT (staring at the pendulum) ​but there's this thing, right? ​when you're mental health is slipping… ​it's like ​how serious is it, really? ​how serious is it? ​how serious is it? SHELOB ​beckett, my collection of flies is growing ​would you mind terribly if i stretched out a bit more? BECKETT (still staring at the pendulum) ​maybe i'll go out tomorrow SHELOB ​i'll just stretch out on this transom (another knock at the door.) WOLF (in a funny voice) ​hello? is there a mister beckett here? ​the super sent us, we need access to the meter BECKETT ​i can't do this ​gramps? (louder knock.) WOLF ​c'mon buddy we know you're in there (phone ring.) SADIE (on the phone, as work) ​beckett? it's work ​give us a call if you want to discuss our last email ​we just hope you're…hope you're okay SHELOB ​you don't need them beckett. plenty of work to do here (phone ring.) SADIE (on the phone, as sister) ​beckett? it's your sister ​mmmmmmmm…i'm pregnant! due in february. i still can't ​believe it… (louder knock.) ​did you get the wedding photos we sent? BECKETT ​i need protection— (louder knock.) WOLF ​look we need access buddy! BECKETT (shouting) ​go away go away go away!
