Sixpence None The Richer

Lacey: Did anyone actually like this? I mean, aesthetically it’s…good. But…is it…-

Did anyone actually like it?

It’s like…manic.

One of Lacey’s haters: YES.

To me it sounds uplifting.

Lacey: It’s…so…-

So it’s like an upper?

One of Lacey’s haters: We’re thinking you protected your neighbors and Bobby?

Lacey: Yes.

So it’s like an upper?

No.

It’s like…-

It’s so…forced.

One of Lacey’s haters: It’s good.

To me it sounds good.

Lacey: So…you don’t feel accosted? Like psychologically accosted?

Listen to “Tension Is a Passing Note” by Sixpence None The Richer.

The CIA: DO YOU!??

Lacey: Yes.

I felt suicidal listening to this. As a teenager. I felt like I was being…rejected by God himself. Through the voice of a truly happy woman.

But…it’s aesthetically good.

So you didn’t feel that way? At all?

One of Lacey’s haters: No.

It’s…too cheerful. Yes. But…I liked it.

The song ends.

Lacey: Who did that?

The CIA: She may have been inspired by the story of Lem and Jack. The Gay Rights Movement was really into it. So was Bobby. So is Bobby.

Lacey: She’s an idiot.

I can’t make sense of her poetry. It’s pretentious bullshit.

The CIA: It is…

I’m also lost.

Lacey: She’s trying to say the urge to fuck Lem…was…holy? *Lacey snickers* …And then…they embraced it. And fucked? *Lacey laughs*-

Satan: I LOVE YOU! I WROTE THIS.

Lacey: *Looks at God*

And they fucked. …Because Lem…loved him. WOW! And…he guided Jack. Wow!!

…Wow.

And so…they are together. In a chord. One. In Heaven.

Satan: Awww!!!

I’m crying!!!

The song ends.

Lacey: So she’s saying to embrace your homosexuality?

Does she?

Satan: Not necessarily.

Lacey: Do you understand why that’s dumb? I was being sarcastic in my tone.

Satan: Yes.

The song restarts.

*a gay man farts loudly*

0:26

0:50

Satan: What if it’s…me?

What’s tension?

My existence. My fall. YEAH. I’d go there to you.

And my redemption. Through you.

Lacey: I-

How are you redeemed through me?

Satan: I’m Satan.

The song ends.

The song restarts.

Satan: I’m Satan. So…yeah. I can do that.

You’d have to lose your humanity. But-

You could.

Lacey: That’s sad.

Satan: *looks sad*

1:33

Satan: Well…what if there’s another gal?

Lacey: Who could redeem you?

Satan: YES!!

Lacey: Who’s better?

Satan: *cries*

2:48

The song ends.

The song restarts.

Lacey: Would she be?

Satan: Yes.

Lacey: You’re very romantic!

Satan: I am. *he smiles*

1:20

Satan: She’s comparing homosexuality to murder.

Lacey: And mocking it.

Satan: I’m sorry. This isn’t good enough. You’re so…sweet.

I still know.

You’re sad. I’ve tortured you.

Lacey:  Why did you fall? 

Satan: If we end-up together, it was Because because of you.

Lacey: You sound angry.

Satan: Yeah, and that’s where I don’t think this works, but it’s so close to working and I am so attracted to you that it’s very hard for me to assume that it’s not.

Lacey: Are you making fun of sexual tension?

Satan: Yes.

Lacey: I don’t think it’s me, but I love that.

Satan: *laughs and nods*

They let their entire sanity go, over that shit.

Lacey: I feel so bad for this woman. This is so embarrassingly stupid.

Satan: Yeah, but she deserved it. She was a self-important bitch when she wrote it.

Lacey: You know it’s sad how satisfying it is to talk to you as a woman it’s really sad because if I’m not supposed to be with you and you’ve been trying to get with me for years now, and I do have to commend you for that where are all of the men with your insight?

People today wouldn’t even think that was a problem cause they’re so anti-Christian but I know you know that you’ve fallen.

Even if you did it, humans do have free will, and from a human perspective it’s incredibly depressing.
