Dimmu Borgir - Kings of the Carnival Creation

Incarnated marvels simplified
Effects from such a disconsolate kind
Impotence of the once so perfect living
Erase and rewind

Stand rigid for the next battle
Peace means reloading your guns
The love for life is all hatred in disguise
A carnival creation with masks undone

In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin
through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind
Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth
Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies
An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate

[chorus:]
With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well
Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin
Worshipped by anyone's mass on our planet hell
What on earth possessed you

Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues
Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception
Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions

Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface
And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect
With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil
Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin

Left are the kings of the carnival creation
Carrying out the echoes of the fallen

Sense the withering eternity as it fades away
The ultimate graceless voyage of all times
Only death will be guarding your angels, silently
Cripples joining arms in clamour
Institutionalized for the rebirth, the herd will be hunted

Rent- La Vie Boheme

Who died?
Our Akita
Evita

You make fun, yet I'm the one
Attempting to do some good
Or do you really want a neighborhood
Where people piss on your stoop every night?

Bohemia, Bohemia's
A fallacy in your head
This is Calcutta
Bohemia is dead

Dearly beloved
We gather here to say our goodbyes
(Dies irae, dies illa)
Here she lies
(Kyrie eleison)
(Yitgadal v'yitkadash)
No one knew her worth
The late great daughter of Mother Earth
On these nights when we celebrate the birth

In that little town of Bethlehem
We raise our glass, you bet your ass to
La vie boheme

La vie boheme
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
La vie boheme

To days of inspiration, playing hooky, making something out of nothing
The need to express, to communicate
To going against the grain, going insane, going mad

To loving tension, no pension, to more than one dimension
To starving for attention hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention of course hating dear old mom and dad

To riding your bike midday past the three piece suits
To fruits, to no absolutes
To Absolut, to choice, to the Village Voice
To any passing fad

To being an ‘us' for once
Instead of a ‘them'
La vie boheme
La vie boheme

Hey mister, she's my sister

So that's five miso soup
Four seaweed salad
Three soy burger dinner
Two tofu dog platter
And one pasta with meatless balls?

Ew
It tastes the same
If you close your eyes

An' thirteen orders of fries
Is that in here?
Wine and beer!

To hand crafted beers made in local breweries
To yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese
To leather, to dildos to curry vindaloo
To huevos rancheros and Maya Angelou

Emotion, devotion, to causing a commotion
Creation, vacation, mucho masturbation

Compassion, to fashion, to passion when it's new
To Sontag, to Sondheim, to anything taboo

Ginsberg, Dylan, Cunningham and Cage
Lenny Bruce, Langston Hughes, to the stage
To Uta, to Buddha, Pablo Neruda, too

Why Dorothy and Toto went over the rainbow
To blow off auntie Em
La vie boheme

Sisters?
We're close

Brothers!

Bisexuals, trisexuals, homo sapiens
Carcinogens, hallucinogens, men, Pee Wee Herman
German wine, turpentine, Gertrude Stein
Antonioni, Bertolucci, Kurosawa, Carmina Burana

To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, ecstasy
Vaclav Havel, The Sex Pistols, 8BC
To no shame never playing the fame game
To marijuana

To sodomy, it's between god and me
To S&
Waiter, waiter, waiter
La vie boheme
Waiter

In honor of the death of Bohemia
An impromptu salon will commence immediately following dinner
Maureen Johnson, just back from her spectacular one-night engagement
At The Eleventh Street Lot
Will perform Native American tribal chants, backwards
Through her vocoder, while accompanying herself on the electric cello
Which she ain't never studied

And Mark Cohen will preview his new documentary
About his inability to hold an erection on the high holy days

And Mimi Marquez, clad only in bubble wrap
Will perform her famous lawn chair handcuff dance
To the sounds of iced tea being stirred

And Roger will attempt to write a bittersweet, evocative song
That doesn't remind us of “Musetta's Waltz”

Angel Dumott Schunard will model the latest fall fashions from Paris
While accompanying herself on the 10 gallon plastic pickle tub

And Collins will recount his exploits as an anarchist
Including the tale of his successful reprogramming
Of the M.I.T. virtual reality equipment
To self-destruct as it broadcast the words
“Actual reality, act up, fight AIDS”

Excuse me, did I do something wrong?
I get invited, then ignored all night long

I've been trying, I'm not lying
No one's perfect, I've got baggage

Life's too short, babe time is flying
I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine

I should tell you
I've got baggage too
I should tell you
Baggage, wine and beer

1. I hate the "I should tell you part." Tell each other or don't, but quit talking about it.

2. I saw the "farewell tour" with Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal. Just saying.

Josh Ritter - Best is for the Best

Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes
Now she’s gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind
And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind

I realized that Illinois was more than I could stand
They say working’s best cause poverty is hell on a man
Now I ride a lazy river through the Mississippi fan
And if the best is for the best then the best can be damned

I spent a few years on the Queen of Spain
She was a leaky little boat that went up in flames
When the boiler blew some people started naming names
But if the best is for the best I guess the best is to blame

I spent a few more as the Cairo Crown
A heavyweight wrestler in the Midwest towns
But I was lonesome for a girl who could pin me down
They say the best is for the best but that’s not what I’ve found

Now I listen to my sweetheart and I listen to my thirst
I don’t spend time listening to other people’s words
Sometimes they’re right most times the reverse
They say the best is for the best when the best’s for the worse

Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes
Now she’s gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind
And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind​

"I'm With Stupid" - Static X

great pains
i've gone to gang slang
i've gone to lame brain
looking for gold i
i have become someone else
outside stepping to inside
stepping to my side
stepping i wade through shit

he's a loser
he's a loser, she said

i am mine, i am mine
i am mine, i am mine
i am mine, i
i can't become someone else

he's a loser
he's a loser, she said
he's a loser
he's a loser, she said

The Agonist - Everybody Wants You (Dead)


You did me wrong! Yeah, you screwed me.
But – guess what! I win, you lose.
How funny, what you show when you’ve got nothing to prove.
Everybody wants you? Everybody wants you dead.
But I want you right here
To see your face when you’ve got no one left.

Sticky fingers touch the treetops...
Could we collapse them with one slip?
Can you really swear by a reality where miles are measured by inch?
Tonight we are two, dipping toes in flooding puddles.
Programmed romance makes us shudder, pictures never grow old.
Obviously dusting powdery days off your skin,
Familiar eyes are rabid, transplanted to a stranger’s skull.

How am I to keep you happy, healthy and strong when you harbor such infection, such scar tissue in your bones. I didn’t think dysplasia would so affect it. You know, tonight there is a crime to commit.

I’m thinking it through – I’m convinced it’s true. You’re the beach of my attention but the tide is coming in. Will you buckle down like barnacles, a one-time contagion?

Will you passively wade away like layers of pollution? Or will you still be holding your breath when tides go out again? What happened to what you thought of me? I shattered all the imagery. The pretense was a forgery – I really am what I present. You know, tonight there’s a crime to commit and I’m the criminal, victim and punishment.

Punch Brothers - You Are

About a year from now I wake up
in the arms of who I want,
Without the need to hide our nakedness
in pure and holy thought,

but rather blessing thrice the shutters never closed,
the bed still made,
the early afternoon as morning "Mmm" as
"Hey, are you awake?"

You take my love and my lust,
cold clock my mind out,
turn in my keys to the kingdom,
and lip-lock my body down.

You are, you are, you are to me like a very, very wild thing.
These are, these are to me like the games I played
before I heard they weren't safe
to play. You are to me like a very, very wild thing.

About a year from then I say "Goodnight!" and kiss, kiss, kiss the phone
to sleep the sleep of one who finally wouldn't rather sleep alone.

You take my love and my lust,
cold-clock my mind out,
turn in my keys to the kingdom
and lip-lock my body down.

You are, you are, you are to me like a very, very wild thing.
These are, these are to me like the games I played
before I heard they weren't safe
to play. You are to me like a very, very wild thing.

You take my love and my lust,
cold-clock my mind out,
turn in my keys to the kingdom
and lip-lock my body down.
You churn my blood as it boils,
raise a cream,
and white-wash my fear away.
God, if I don't stop now I know
this won't be half of
what it's gonna take.

You are, you are, you are to me
like a very, very wild thing.​

"No Scrubs"

A scrub is a guy who thinks he's fly
And is also known as a buster
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
So (no)

I don't want your number (no)
I don't want to give you mine and (no)
I don't want to meet you nowhere (no)
I don't want none of your time and (no)

[Chorus:]
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me

But a scrub is checkin' me
But his game is kinda weak
And I know that he cannot approach me
Cuz I'm lookin' like class and he's lookin' like trash
Can't get wit' no deadbeat ass
So (no)

I don't want your number (no)
I don't want to give you mine and (no)
I don't want to meet you nowhere (no)
I don't want none of your time (no)

[Chorus]

If you don't have a car and you're walking
Oh yes son I'm talking to you
If you live at home wit' your momma
Oh yes son I'm talking to you (baby)
If you have a shorty but you don't show love
Oh yes son I'm talking to you
Wanna get with me with no money
Oh no I don't want no (oh)

No scrub
No scrub (no no)
No scrub (no no no no no)
No scrub (no no)
No

I already have a Gunslinger thread but this makes me want to do another one. And I'm still pissed I miss the show last night.

In This Moment - Last Cowboy

And behold a cowboy came into town, dirty and worn
He had black eyes, long hair, and lines that cut deep into his frown
He had the right hand of the devil strapped tightly to his side
And you could tell fear abandoned this outlaw in a previous life

Why?
Looking, but never seeing
Why?
Searching, but never finding
Why?
For the kiss to bring his cold dead heart back to life

I am, I am searching for you
Waiting, I am coming
First light, I am coming for you
Last stand
I am, I am searching for you
Falling, I am coming
Come and, I am coming for you
Catch me if you can

He had the story of whiskey on his breath and death in his eyes
You never heard him say a word, but a pistol shot straight through the lies
Looking for the new world, going from dead town to town
But his compass is cracked and north is six feet underground

Why?
Looking, but never seeing
Why?
Searching, but never finding
Why?
For the kiss to bring his cold dead heart back to life

I am, I am searching for you
Waiting, I am coming
First light, I am coming for you
Last stand
I am, I am searching for you
Falling, I am coming
Come and, I am coming for you
Catch me if you can

I towed the line for you (x4)

I am, I am searching for you
Waiting, I am coming
First light, I am coming for you
Last stand
I am, I am searching for you
Falling, I am coming
Come and, I am coming for you
Catch me if you can

I am, I am searching for you
Waiting, I am coming
First light, I am coming for you
Last stand
I am, I am searching for you
Falling, I am coming
Come and, I am coming for you
Catch me if you can

If you ever cross a shadow in a wasted void
You tell him I'm here waiting for the last cowboy

What kind of Gunslinger are you talking about?


*Pistols? Wants to see pistols..*

*Pistols? Wants to see pistols..*

I'm not sure yet. The song makes me want to do a Cowboy story. But, I already have one going on... although the Gunslinger/Outlaw is a woman. Could always do one with a guy as the Gunslinger... but who would the woman be? Hmm.

Not to mention a few other Western pieces have already been done.

As I Lay Dying - Overcome

All these moments of pain
Must add up to something,
Our bodies have been trained to keep it all in,
But our hearts, still hold on

Some say to release it, forget about your past,
Instead we count the cost, it's part of us
That doesn't mean that we cannot move on,
It's just a memory of what we were once were

No matter what it is we've faced
It's now part of us (part of us)
We can overcome

Why rid of fuel that can make us stronger
When properly put behind us (put behind us)
And in the same way that
Everything good in life can be taken away
So can all this pain

No matter what it is we've faced
It's now part of us (part of us)
No matter what we've faced in this life
We can overcome

Trying to forget is a burden we can never bear,
When facing trials openly,
There's nothing left to hide,
New paths of strength come alive

No matter what it is we've faced
It's now part of us (part of us)
No matter what we've faced in this life
We can overcome

We can overcome

It's a shame you missed the show. I'm hoping they make a repeat visit to RotR next year.

As an aside, this song always makes me think of The Walking Man from the Nightside series of books.
