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.

In the evening sky
I see my faint reflection

When they look in my direction

Moon of blue is in the sky
West wind he whispers why
Sacrifice living for life his perpetual vice

Lonely win blows through his empty soul.
He cries a river of tears on the clock below
Nothings forever and time will tell
His tears rust the clock and he died as well

Lass was so real in her crown
Still seems so close
Wrapped up in silk hair of gold
Shaded by snow
She was a blur, she spoke to me
So neatly melodic
Men on the brim
Men on the verge
As she turns up erotic

Early I heard my first guitar
And I new I wanted to be a big star.
So I told my poor worried father
Ain't gonna go to school no more,
Ya see...

I wanna look cool and I wanna look good
With my hair slicked back and black thigh boots.
Wanna stand up tall with my boobs upright
Feel real hot when my make-up's nice
Get sexy underneath the lights
Like I wanna fuck every man in sight.
Baby come home with me tonight
Make ya feel good, Make ya feel alright.

Daddy, I'm Fine

It just takes a minute
And you'll feel no pain
Gotta make something of your life boy
Give me one more vein
You've come to see the doctor
Cause I'll show you the cure
I'm gonna take away the questions
Yeah I'm gonna make you sure

A hit man for the order
When you couldn't go to school
Had a skin job for a hair-do
Yeah you looked pretty cool
Had a habit doing mainline
Watch the dragon burn
No regrets, you've got no goals
Nothing more to learn

Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor

The breath of the morning I keep forgetting the smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
Up above aliens hover making home movies for the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets

Great big gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts,
chopped up parakeet, mutilated monkey feet,
Lizard eyeballs rollin' down the dirty street,
Dont' getta spoon, getta straw (slurp) awww.

(I've tried) Because I know you won't FORGET
Even if the story is over
its over (I know)
But did you wanna listen?
You took the world with you....
So what is left for me?

I forget the name of the song but its Finch

I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever,
the search is Over
You were with me all the while

I feel hot and red and wired
I feel burned out like I've expired
freaky dreams and you are there
with glowing eyes and burning hair and
I'm even dreaming

And I never meant to hurt you
I swear I didn't mean
Those things I said
I never meant to do that to you
Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead
Oh, does she love you
What do you want to do?
Does she need you like I do?
Do you love her?
Is she good for you?
Does she hold you> like I do?


Do you want me?
Should I leave?
I know you're always telling me
That you love me
Just sometimes I wonder
If I should believe
Oh, I love you
God, I love you
I'd kill a dragon for you

At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.

Fallin' right into your hands
Like rain on the desert sand
It's the last thing you had planned
Then out of the blue clear sky

up and down the rio grande
a thousand footprints in the sand
reveal a secret no one can define

the river flows on like a breath
in between our lives and death
tell me who is next to cross the borderline.

and when you reach the golden promised land
every dream slips through your hand,
and you know
it's too late
to change your mind.

cuz you've paid the price to come so far
just to wind up where you are
and youre still
just across
that borderline.

The more you take, the more you blame
But everything still feels the same
The more you hurt, the more you strain
The price you pay to play the game
And all you seek, and all you gain
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules, no one to blame
The price to play the game

I hurt myself today
to see if i still feel.
I focus on the pain,
the only thing thats real.

The needle tears a hole;
the old familiar sting,
try to kill it all away,
but I remember everything.

what have I become,
my sweetest friend?
Everyone i know,
goes away in the end,

The wild and windy night
that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
let me know the way

Many times I've been alone
and many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
the many ways I've tried

But still they lead me back
to the long winding road
You left me standing here
a long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
lead me to your door

It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside

It's like a dream you try to remember
But it's gone
Then you try to scream
But it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world
Beyond your front door
Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just to try to figure out what all this is for

Oh, Roxy,
You're my maggie may
more beautiful tonight
than you ever were
back in the day
oh roxy,
your golden boys
make a beautiful noise
after all these years
you still bring tears to my eyes

Torn and confused
Wave of anxiety
Torn by the rage and the fear...

Choking my soul, reacting too slow
The choice is there but my mind is weak
Now what can be done? I stand alone
Blindfolded, torn by the rage and the fear
Madness awaits, watch me reload
This time it's for real and there's no turning back
What if I'll die, no one will cry
Blessed by the pain, let the madness begin....

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced the're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"These oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

I know it's weak to use 'and' but I just listened to that song and wanted to add it.
