[00:00.99]（Talking）
[00:03.05]Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain,
[00:05.11]there was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived,
[00:09.99]their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world,
[00:13.19]obscured as it was by great clouds.
[00:17.40]Here they played out their peaceful lives,
[00:19.85]innocent of the litany of excess and violence that was growing in the world below.
[00:25.35]To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough.
[00:29.31]Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town.
[00:33.95]They came in camouflage,
[00:35.51]hidden behind dark glasses,
[00:37.36]no one noticed them:
[00:38.78]they only saw shadows.
[00:41.19]
[00:41.46]You see,
[00:42.17]without the Truth of the Eyes,
[00:44.24]the Happyfolk were blind.
[00:46.29]
[00:47.36](Singing)
[00:47.99]Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes
[00:52.57]Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home
[00:57.20]Jump out from behind them and shoot them in the head
[01:02.04]Now everybody's dancing,
[01:04.37]the dance of the dead
[01:06.75]The dance of the dead
[01:09.24]The dance of the dead.
[01:13.09]
[01:19.02](Talking)
[01:23.58]In time,
[01:24.83]the Strangefolk found their way into the higher reaches of the mountain,
[01:28.91]and it was there that they found the caves of unimaginable Sincerity and Beauty.
[01:35.17]By chance,
[01:36.25]they stumbled upon the place where all good souls come to rest.
[01:41.05]The Strangefolk,
[01:42.56]they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things,
[01:46.43]and soon they began to mine the mountain, its rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world.
[01:53.62]Meanwhile,
[01:55.95]down in the town,
[01:56.74]the Happyfolk slept restlessly,
[01:59.67]their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls.
[02:04.04]Every day,
[02:05.60]people would wake and stare at the mountain.
[02:08.40]Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?
[02:12.05]And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain, holes began to appear,
[02:17.84]bringing with them a cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of the Monkey.
[02:22.74]For the first time,
[02:23.44]the Happyfolk felt fearful for,
[02:25.38]they knew that soon the Monkey would stir from its deep sleep.
[02:30.55]Then there came a sound.
[02:31.89]Distant first,
[02:33.14]it grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space.
[02:39.24]
[02:39.63]There were no screams.
[02:41.84]There was no time.
[02:44.43]The mountain called Monkey had spoken.
[02:47.74]There was only fire.
[02:49.04]And then, nothing.
[02:51.74]
[02:52.48](Singing)
[02:53.62]Oh, a little town in U.S.A
[02:55.58]The time has come to see
[02:58.23]There's nothing you believe you are
[03:01.86]
[03:02.76]But where were you when it all came down on me
[03:09.77]
[03:10.92]Did you come in now?
