KEYWORDS --> LYRICS

Sep 06, 2006 04:37

I should do a proper keyword explanation post soon, BUT UNTIL THEN YOU GET THIS. Much like Chisame, a ton of my keywords for ALL my characters are from song lyrics; Chizuru is no exception. And weirdly, randomly, a lot of hers are from "The Great Western Road" by David Byrne. I have no good explanation for this other than "I was redoing her keywords and listening to this song and yeah." It's not really a song I associate with her in any way, it just sort of--happened. I like its lyrics a lot. XD


A man sticks his fingers inside of his mouth
The words are stuck in there, he fishes them out
Whispers and mumbles, statements and verse
Curses and love songs for nobody else

A man takes a pencil and puts down his thoughts
The old human highway from Eden to Nod
Brothers and sisters, husbands and wives
Strangers and cripples in love with their lives

How they dance, in a trance where the river bends
Here we go, don't you know that it never ends
Some who ride, some who slide, everyone you know
Travels on that great western road

How they laugh, raise a glass, drink a bottle down
Any face, anyplace in this northern town
Drag it on, (LINE THAT NO ONE KNOWS)
Travel on that great western road

Man goes to show world and dreams of the stars
He leans to the left, he leans to the north
He learns to be humble, he learns from the trees
And all of God's creatures to him they would speak

Saying "Wake up, my little lambs
Wake up, it's time to begin
Wake up, it's all that you are
Wake up, and it's not very far"

Beggar man, soldier man, begger man and thief
Some are young, some are old, and some on their knees
Broken legs, broken nose, swaying to and fro
As they walk that great western road

Every snake, every bird, every creeping thing
Like a knife in the night, I'll see her again
Blessed heart, blessed word, blessed skin and bone
All along that great western road
