Choose Your Own Adventure
*by glennny
inspired by "Space and Beyond" by R.A. Montgomery*

"Choose Your Own Adventure Number Four- Space and Beyond!"

I was born in a spaceship
3 days and 2 hours ago
now that means to me,
with relativity, I'm 18 Earth years old

If I choose Phonon as my home planet
then I turn to page 2
but if I'd rather instead go to Zermacroyd
then I'll turn to page 3

This is not the only choice for me
I've got 42 destinies

My father's home was Phonon
now it's mine too
I look down in alarm
something's very wrong!
that nebula shouldn't be there!

If I choose to try and get back to the mothership
then I'll turn to page 4
but if I trust my gut, and just go ahead
then I'll turn to page 6

This demise is not a fait accompli
I've got over 40 destinies

Heavy meteor showers
cause my space pod to spin
turn to page 12 to wait it out?
or to 14 to radio for help?

I'm flung out to the transit zone
a space caravan just might be going to Phonon
I could become part of the show!
I'll turn to page 24 to know

I joined the space circus
I'll make some high-energy quarks do tricks
I never made it to Phonon
but I no longer care

dozens of times I've called a Mulligan
I'll turn the page to read my death
again and again and again

THE END

another really fun, inventive arrangement. I'm not crazy about the lyrics, which feel a bit clunky - they seem so invested in telling the branching story that they don't feel rhythmically / musically very satisfying. I do like the harmonised "the end", but generally I want some kind of hook in the vocal line to match the fun stuff going on musically and it falls a little short in that area.
