A Forum Game--"Think of a Lyric"

from JoeUser Forums
Okay denizens of JoeUser. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while here. I played along with this game on another forum and it was a lot of fun. Over there we had stretched it to over 2,500 replies. So I am asking you folks here to play along, let's have some fun with this. Here are the rules.

Each person needs to think of part of a lyric from a song. I will start it off with some lyrics. The next person to post adds some lyrics, the trick being one of the words in the lyrics they post must also be in the lyrics I posted. Then the next person picks a word in the on above them and post a lyrics with a common word, and so on. Does that make sense? So some specifics. Words like 'a', 'the', 'it' are discouraged, try to be more creative. Please put in bold the word in your lyric that you had in common with post before you. Do not post entire songs. It makes it too hard and there may be copyright issues. Try to limit posts to only one verse or the chorus, something small. But not so small that it makes it impossible for the next person. And it is always nice to include the artist and title of the song. Everybody game? Please? I will kick it off.

Floating high
In the evening sky
I see my faint reflection

Pale facsimile
Like what others see
When they look in my direction

Oh, I see you take another drag
One nation bends to kiss the hag
The sky is a landfill
I see you take another drag
I see you take another drag
I have no fear of this machine!

Ecstacy is all you need
Living in the big machine now
Oh, you're so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothin's real and nothing lasts
And I'm aware

I'm in love but you don't care
Turn your anger into lust
I'm still here, but you don't trust at all
And I'll be waiting

The weapons you're using
are hurting me bad,
and someday you're gonna see,
'cos my love for you baby,
is the truest you've ever had.
A soldier of love is hard to be.

 Mine was lame, sorry . . .

Little soldier, plastic pistol
aiming for the head.
Now you see me, now you don't.
You missed me, you're dead.
Laughing, hiding in the bushes,
scatter for your life.
Little soldier tripped and fell,
get him with your knife.

I've got a symbol in my driveway
I've got a hundred million dollar friends
I've got you a brand new weapon
Let's see how destructive we can be

Got a brand new set of stencils
I been connecting all the dots
Got my plans in a zip-lock bag
Let's see how unproductive we can be

She's leaning on the mailbox
In someone else’s driveway
And she laughs to herself cause she knows
That she's still here

She won't wait forever
God knows that she wants to
And you know that if it comes down
It's gonna be war

The vacant laugh
Of true insanity
Dressed up in the mask of Tragedy
Programmed for the guts and glands
Of idle minds and idle hands

I rest my case...
Or at least my vanity
Dressed up in the mask of Comedy
If laughter is a straw for a drowning man
If laughter is a straw for a drowning man

Oh, one other rule. Different forms of words (plural, past, future, etc) and using parts of a compound word (eg using the "home" part of homeward) are also allowed.

You know the BeeGee's/Steps song would fit great here

TRAGEDY - when the feelings gone and you can't go on it's tragedy

But that would be tragic so forget that

Me and my gal, my gal's son
We got met with a tear gas bomb
I don't even know why we come
Goin' back where we come from

Oxford Town in the afternoon
Ev'rybody singin' a sorrowful tune
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon
Somebody better investigate soon

Oxford Town, Oxford Town
Ev'rybody's got their heads bowed down
The sun don't shine above the ground
Ain't a-goin' down to Oxford Town

The more you see the more you do
The television's feeding you
With what you want to hear
Anger and fear
Because you suffer

The hate you feel won't go away
You are programmed to feel this way
To live another day
Within a world that longs to suffer

 d'oh! I was too slow . . . ignore this one!

Nah Tex, we can just pick up from there. This is bound to happen, so we just carry one.

Insanity at it's peak
Love me to my death
Lost are days of Spring
You sighted and let me in
Keep the beast inside
Shackled within my hide
Screaming out too late
Losing to my hate

And just for fun I am going to go back and go off of SameOldRat's post, then we whoever goes next can decide which of mine to use.

At first I don't know why your presence fills me with unease
Though I've missed you more than Life itself
I freeze
It's like you've been lost and now you're glad to see my face
But as you sit down my confusion turns to distress
Not knowing how to let you know that you are
Dead
(I wake up sweating)

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast

one and three, you're here
(one and three, you're here
to tell me we can't do this)

to tell me we can't do this
(three for three, i'll disagree)

anymore

your hair and face against the mirror
as i take the steps to save what's left of me
someone's out when it's over

people steal from you
and they take anything they choose

it's good to see you
i missed you last night
that's such a lovely color
it goes with your eyes
before we fall asleep
i just wanted to say
this all seems so easy
but there's choices to make

I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
Are you at one
Or do you lie
We live in a wheel
Where everyone steals
But when we rise
it's like strawberry fields

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

"Fields of Gold" by Sting (love this song:)

We live and we learn and crash and we burn and were gone
We take what we know and we learn as we go and we run

Run until that day
We can see who we are
Have the final say
We keep being who we are
As love lights the way to the last day
And no one can take it away

Run and hide (run and hide)
Don't hide at all (don't hide at all)
Change is coming, no its nothing personal
Live our lives (live our lives)
Now hide it all (now hide it all)
Change is coming, know its nothing personal

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind,
it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
