Could someone explain the context in which the song "Petrified" is performed? Thanks in advance.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

This was Phillip Sallon's big aria, which he sings, bloodied on the the ground, after being gay-bashed. I love the song, but I'm not sure the lyrics have much to do with that situation...

i wanna know how they staged "Touched By The Hand Of Cool" for the first few previews before they went to the "you could never be me/i could never be you" ending (which was replaced by the Karma chameleon ending later)
