[Mr. Lethe] Welcome to Deadland
You're here in city circle
Welcome (Welcome) to Deadland (Deadland)
Get to know me, Mr. Lethe
[Spoken]

[Sung]
Lethe is more
[Gretchen] Now is the awesome part of the tour
Cool shit that never made the lame brochure
Brought to you free by your awesome guide me
But tips are appreciated and I'm talking cold hard cash not me lifting up my shirt for five seconds Randy
[Randy] Sorry
[Gretchen, cont.] Now on your right is the famed clock tour (Oooh)
Note that the hands don't tell the hour (Ahhh)
Because...
While we're convening here time has no meaning here
You're dead forever and you'll never see your kids again which is OK 'cause kids suck
[Spoken]
[Jasper] Excuse me? Hi, um, Gretchen? You see I'm still alive and I'm looking for a friend of mine and she may be alive too. I think we're here by mistake.
[Gretchen] Here: take a map. Goodbye.
[Jasper] Wait!
[Paperboy] Extra! Extra! Living boy turns city upsidedown! If he touches you, you'll remember the life you've forgotten!
[Sung]
Jasper in Deadland
A living soul among us?
Jasper in Deadland
Live teen embarks on quest
For a best friend, he calls Agnes
She's lost, he's here, I'm obsessed!
With Jasper in Deadland
Buy a copy, read the rest
[Spoken]
[Jasper] Uh, 'scuse me sir, can you help me?
[Harold] Yow! Urma the club girl!
[Urma] Happy 21st birthday Harold!
[Harold] I'd forgotten all about her!
[Urma] It's 2 dollars for a lap dance, and then, oh! 5 dollars for a toe suck.
[Harold] Aw kid, I don't know how you did that, but thanks for givin' this old self somethin' he'd like to remember! Gee!
[Sung]
That's Jasper in Deadland!
Like a flippin cover story!
It's Jasper (Shhh!) in Deadland
He's cuter than his pic
If he can't find this girl Agnes
I bet I could do the trick
Hey Jasper in Deadland
can I touch you hair?
Valedictorian! What a miss for Jessica
It's just a pity that poor Charles fell down those stairs
But I always believed that you were meant to be the top of your class
Mozeltov, oh!
DIE CHARLES, DIE!
She's sick.
This is Abigail Acrimone, for Deadline News. We're here with the boy everyone's talking about, living boy Jasper! Welcome, Jasper your touch makes dead citizens recall memories of forgotten lives, destroying the delicate line between life and death. How does it feel to be a monster?
What?
[Abigail, Cont.] Metaphysicist, Dr. Raul Espinato explains:
[Dr. Espinato] It's true Abigail! From merely touching the living boy, we may get a flashy of our lives.
[Sung]
Yasper in Deadland
Makes a curious combination
While Yasper's in Deadland
We may find lines get blurred
At his life force throbs among us
The life we forgot we forgot will be stirred (Our lives will be saved!)
So Jasper's wrecking Deadland
[Jasper] I'm what?
[Abigail] That's what we heard.
[Sung]
Jasper tell Deadland
You mean to resurrect us
Jasper
Jasper
Here Jasper
No here babe
How is it you affect us?
Jasper
Jasper
Jasper
In Deadland
Hey!
It's me Agnes
Oh!
It's Jasper in Deadland
I've got to store my blood
Every moment Jasper's near us
The life we forgot comes unscrolled
[Spoken]
Touch me Jasper. Touch me!
[Abigail] Well good luck! Jasper in Deadland, thanks so much. Where'd he go?
