Lyrical Story Round Robin

I'm bored, hyped up on too much coffee and brownies, so let's write a story together. Since we're all writer's, and I'd venture to say pretty competent, let's try to keep it coherent. I know these things always seem to get F-ked up really quick by people who try to turn it into something stupid and silly. And I'm all for humor as long as it flows properly.


The catch? It has to be song lyrics. One lyric line per post, NOT an entire verse, one line. Uno.


Also, please copy and paste the story thus far from the person above you, and then add your own. This will make all of our lives a lot easier. This way we can form actual sentences with punctuation, dialogue, and paragraphs. Rearranging the previous posters punctuation from their line is acceptable.


At the bottom of your post please include the song title & artist.

I'm going to go ahead and state this thread as NSFW!

Under the street lights

"Sometime Around Midnight" by The Airborne Toxic Event

Under the street lights, I took a drive in the dirty rain. I keep on searching and I keep on looking with one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the girl. I no longer feel that God is watching over me.

"It's okay, don't be alarmed." She was crying like a baby.


"She's Crafty" Beastie Boys

Under the street lights, I took a drive in the dirty rain. I keep on searching and I keep on looking with one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the girl. I no longer feel that God is watching over me.

"It's okay, don't be alarmed." She was crying like a baby. "Everything's gonna be alright." The first cut won't hurt at all. Telling myself it's the last time.

"After Midnight" Dorothy

Under the street lights, I took a drive in the dirty rain. I keep on searching and I keep on looking with one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the girl. I no longer feel that God is watching over me.

"It's okay, don't be alarmed." She was crying like a baby. "Everything's gonna be alright." The first cut won't hurt at all. Telling myself it's the last time.

Soon it will be over and buried with our past, the evil that's between us.

"Necromantic" OTEP

Under the street lights, I took a drive in the dirty rain. I keep on searching and I keep on looking with one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the girl. I no longer feel that God is watching over me.

"It's okay, don't be alarmed." She was crying like a baby. "Everything's gonna be alright." The first cut won't hurt at all. Telling myself it's the last time.

Soon it will be over and buried with our past, the evil that's between us.

I sealed my fate, for a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises.

I was gettin kinda tired so I pulled over the car. I see you see me through your window.

"Unwashed & Slightly Dazed" Bowie​

Under the street lights, I took a drive in the dirty rain. I keep on searching and I keep on looking with one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the girl. I no longer feel that God is watching over me.

"It's okay, don't be alarmed." She was crying like a baby. "Everything's gonna be alright." The first cut won't hurt at all. Telling myself it's the last time.

Soon it will be over and buried with our past, the evil that's between us.

I sealed my fate, for a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises.
I was gettin kinda tired so I pulled over the car. I see you see me through your window. You're the reason why I chose to stay. We're the song inside the tune.

"It's not that I don't wanna love you."

"Brooklyn Nights" Lady GaGa
