and now, back to the new albion radio hour!

[constance]
oh thank you lloyd, the pleasure’s all mine

[announcer]
so who will you be playing for us tonight?

[constance]
well, as soon as i get in character, i’ll be inanna, a young attendee of new albions high society soirees who has a secret agenda of her own

[announcer]
well, listeners, while constance gets ready, why don’t you let me, lloyd allen, and the dieselpunk orchestra here set the stage for our next act and tell you a little bit about her character, here, on the new albion radio hour!

the thief is a lady
a lonely girl who maybe
knows the ways of loss from end to end
the world where she’s staying
it’s high cl-ss rules seem crazy
and she’s a low cl-ss girl who smiles and just pretends

she’s taking her time
she’s taking your cool
she’s taking your heart
while she’s taking your jewels
