"Business Meeting: Vote Now" (music: Mark Andrews; lyrics: Merridawn Duckler)
Chorus: No!
I disagree, I have to disagree!
I second that!
Is there a motion?
There has to be a motion.
I’m abstaining!
What was the motion? Is there any discussion?
Can we bring this to a vote, can we vote now?
We already voted on this!
Wait! I have an idea I’d like to discuss.
Can we vote now? What is the discussion?
Sorry, I didn't remember the motion.
Did everybody have a chance to speak? Do we need to table it?
We tabled it last time! Let's vote!
Chorus: Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa….. The yea’s have it!

"Picture This (A Love Song)" (music: Christopher Shotola-Hardt; lyrics: Merridawn Duckler)
I held my heart wide I kept her inside
as the sea all my heart
all I see from here, colors that I saw
you and me from the start
Picture this
my muse, my whole dream
Picture this
Loves lives in my frame
in my frame
Wide-eyed before With eyes shut I make
lines of you beauty rise
can I look for more all I have at stake
than the truth love, art, life
Picture this
your face in my dream
I know now
Love lives in my frame
In my frame
In a frame
Love in my frame
Love in our frame

"Whose Blues" (music: Susanne Shotola-Hardt; lyrics: Merridawn Duckler)
who’s this who forgot
who was that who ran
who came who talked
who called who sat
who borrowed who borrowed
who swept who swept
who noticed who noticed
who stole who stole
who’s this who forgot
who was that who ran
who came who talked
who called who sat
… and was silent

"Someone Came In" (music: Dave Andrews; lyrics: Merridawn Duckler)
a woman came in, a man came in
a couple came in, a homeless man came in
a tour came in, a snacker came in
someone returned, who came in yesterday
I think there’s someone touching something in the gallery that they shouldn’t...
a school group came in, a collector came in
students came in and a bee flew in
various Blackfishies swam in and out
a man came in and played his ukulele
(he stayed for 25 minutes and never said a word!)
a kid from San Diego disappeared in the back
I got worried and started to look for him
turns out he was in the Ritual Tent ... OM
leaves blew in, smokers came in...and out
Santa came in, the Mayor came in
a grifter came in, and that man from Kansas came in
a lone person came in and stayed looking for a long time
I saw the old artist yesterday, I believe he knew me
he raised his head, his eyes opened wide
he grabbed and held my hand
he kept on shaking it
he would not let go ... awkward....
a woman came in, a man came in
a couple came in
someone came in

Aria & Chorus:
"Closing Routine" (music: Christopher Shotola-Hardt; lyrics: Merridawn Duckler)
the hour grows late now
the sky grows dark
cleaned kitchen
scoured sink
swept leaves
walked the floor
took the garbage out
cleaned the glass
cleared the desk
wrote my notes
checked the mail
answered the phone
turned the lights out
closed the door
shut the office
called you
to come after me
here tomorrow
you… will be
where I am now
you…will be
you…will be
we…will be
we…will be
Blackfish…will be
Blackfish…will be
…Here!
