A Forum Game--"Think of a Lyric"

Published on November 16, 2004 By BlueDev In Misc

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

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,

"Hurt" by Johnny Cash (and others)

Ha! I'm playing with myself!

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

"The Long and Winding Road" by the Beatles

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....

"Torn" by Pathos

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.

Rush - The Trees

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

Vows are spoken
to be broken
FEELINGS are intense
words are trivial
Pleasure remains
so does the pain
words are meaningless
and forgettable

"Enjoy the Silence" Depech mode If this ones been used already, sorry, it's the only one I could think of.

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

It's not too late if you take a look around you
Well there's got to be an answer
Now I aint playing your fool
Oooh so just give me what Im after
Cause when all I see is pain
In a world full of lies,
I wish that I could never see a damn thing
Through These Eyes
No, no, no
God in Heaven
Dont waste your-
Waste your time on me
Cause Im too far gone and I dont need sympathy, no no
GOD in Heaven
Let me tell you WHY
I've grown so cold
It's the things that I've seen..
Through these eyes...
