A lot depends on the length of the game.  I'd envisaged the first couple 
of shows taking place before the album comes out (as often happens). 
The pace picks up once the album's released and fans know the song and 
sings along with it.

That would work.  So they keep hearing on the news or read in the paper 
about the gruesome cult murders in the towns they played two or three 
nights ago.

So by the end of the tour there's a couple of dozen of the things loose, 
bodies piling up, and the only way to dispel them is to get a new 
version of the song with a reversed version of the ritual played on 
daytime radio.
