Revised Schematic for "Andromeda Weeps"

Scene 1 - introduce the Young Beautiful People, Jason and Andromeda, who are mad in love
(first verse)

Scene 2 - the alert to launch the missiles
(first chorus)


Scene 3 - Andromeda implores Jason not to launch the retaliatory missiles.
(second verse)

Scene 4 - Jason announces he will not launch
(second chorus)


Scene 5 - breaks off to Phrase 2 for the Trips part.  Mad love in a surreal, much less structured way.

Scene 6 - back to Phrase 1 to discover people suddenly look happy but why

(third verse)

Scene 7 - the order to stand down, it was all a false alarm - second part of chorus is notification about Jerusalem

(third chorus)

Scene 8 - there was weeping but no response from anywhere in the world because everywhere stood down at that point.

(fourth verse)

Scene 9 - unclear just yet

Scene 10 - break off to Phrase 2 again and deliberately use the same music to recall the mad love of Jason and Andromeda but this time it's Colonel Kurtz talking about the horror, the horror.

Scene 11 - there is nothing more to say after that.  There wasn't after Colonel Kurtz died in "Apocalypse Now" either.  Therefore, the outro is a repeat of the verse / chorus on soft electric guitar without drums to get reflective and then fade.

(Ed:  reminds me of the cartoon with the beatnik sitting in front of the beautiful panorama of the countryside and he turns to his beatnik girlfriend to ask, "What rhymes with garbage?")

I don't see this as gratuitously trashing the story because Jason and Andromeda didn't build these satanic nukes, they're simply stuck with living or dying because of them.
