This is a song about Gene Ha’s comic book Mae, written from the perspective of its titular character. Mae is a young woman whose sister Abbie suddenly disappeared years ago and has just resurfaced, having spent the last 8 years in an alternate dimension. Now she’s back, followed by other-dimensional...
[Verse 1]
Boots and all, return of the prodigal in living polychrome
Hello you, world weary bestie who I guess we’ve never known
A world gone mad at the sister I never had back from no place like home
Say again how you miss me every now and then, and I’ll go with you
[Chorus]
To the end of the world, and a little bit farther, maybe just because
Over the rainbow to find if I hate you or love you, since a life that was
Nothing to see, it’s just me and the Queen of Oz
[Verse 2]
Long time, no anything. A grief ago I’d have denied the rage
Claimed acceptance as you became adept on a different kind of stage
Forgot why I ever needed someone by the time I came of age
Can I bend, finally trusting to allow a friend to carry me
[Chorus]
To the end of the world, and a little bit farther, just because
Over the rainbow to find if I hate you or love you, for a life that was
Nothing to see, it’s just me and the Queen of Oz
Don’t look at me, it’s all she who’s the Queen of Oz
[Verse 3]
A walking stick, clicks on a yellow brick, to count us on our way
On the fence with the royal conscience, wherein the thing's the play
To seek why, and maybe to degreenify, or maybe drift astray
Across the moon, embarking on our balloon and sailing off...
[Chorus]
To the end of the world, and a step or two farther, with you just because
Over the rainbow to find if I hate you or love you, and a life that was
Nothing to see, it’s just me and the Queen of Oz
To the end of the world and a leap into something else with you just because
Out of the garden and into the woods of a larger world made of coup d’etats
Nothing to see, it’s just me and the Queen of Oz
Little old me on a spree with the Queen of Oz
Everything free by decree of the Queen of Oz
Nothing to see…
