There's a graveyard. A graveyard called 'Rest In Fame: A Celebrity Cemetery'. There are four graves, recently put in. They read 'Stuart', 'Murdoc', 'Noodle', and 'Russel'.
Suddenly, there's a very muffled gasp, followed by a less muffled scream. It's coming from the four graves, almost as if they were.... Resurrected.
The screaming stops. One of them starts whistling softly. Another starts making a very soft beat. Stuart begins to sing.
'Where does it come from? When everything was outside. Busted and blue.'
The whistle has faded out and all three others have start helping with the beat.
'How, in the universe, through the lithium? Busted and blue.'
One of them begins to make instrumental music with their mouth and snapping.
'I was danced by a computer, shadow on the wall. An image made by virtue, to rule over us all. So amplify the sirens, and to flurry the flames (maybe?). And through the echoed chambers, in a another world somewhere. All my life, all my life, me and my life, are mean I am a satellite (maybe?), and I can't get back without you.'
Noodle starts singing the phrase 'demon love' as background.
A woman walks up to the graves and takes a seat. She's in a uniform for the cemetery. Her name tag reads, 'Carly'.
'Where, do they come? The ones that connect to us, weightless and fall on your body.'
Noodle begins to sing what Stuart is singing as back up.
'Til, we're invincible.'
She stops.
'I'm with you throughout this view, busted and blue. All my life, all my life, me and my life, are mean I am a satellite (maybe?), and I can't get back without you.'
Noodle starts singing the phrase 'demon love' as background again.
'Busted and, blue.'
Carly stands up and walks away. She comes back with a shovel.
