Prompts for 6/12-6/26
We apologize for the lateness this week.
Please remember to comment here with a link to any prompts you do from this list. In two weeks we will post a new list of prompts for you to use. Remember there is no activity checks. You can write what you want, when you want. If you have prompt suggestions for future lists please leave them here. Thank you to those who left suggestions for this week. Just a note, if you're going to suggest songs it would be really helpful if you could include a link for it so we can upload it to our account. The mods have a pretty vast music collection between the two of us, but you guys turn us on to songs we haven't had a chance to listen to yet!

Take a litle walk to the edge of town Go across the tracks Where the viaduct looms, like a bird of doom As it shifts and cracks Where secrets lie in the border fires, in the humming wires Hey man, you know you're never coming back Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man In a dusty black coat with a Red Right Hand
He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you've been a good boy He'll rekindle all the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul But there wont be a single thing that you can do He's a god, he's a man, he's a ghost, he's a guru They're whispering his name through this disappearing land But hidden in his coat is a Red Right Hand
You don't have no money? He'll get you some You don't have no car? He'll get you one You don't have no self-respect, You feel like an insect Well don't you worry buddy, cause here he comes Through the ghettos and the barrio and the bowery and the slum A shadow is cast wherever he stands Stacks of green paper in his Red Right Hand
(Organ solo)
You'll see him in your nightmares, you'll see him in your dreams He'll appear out of nowhere but he ain't what he seems You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen And hey buddy, I'm warning you to turn it off He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan Designed and directed by his Red Right Hand
(Organ solo)
Extra verse from DJ Spooky Remix (From Scream 2 Soundtrack): He'll extend his hand, real slowly for a shake You'll see it coming toward you, real slowly for a shake (Grabbing at your peril buddy?) cause you know you ain't getting near much as he will take.
He's a...
He's mumbling words you can't understand He's mumbling word behind his Red Right Hand.
My best friend gave me the best advice He said each day's a gift and not a given right Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind And try to take the path less traveled by That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day And tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past Donate every dime you have? If today was your last day
Against the grain should be a way of life What's worth the prize is always worth the fight Every second counts 'cause there's no second try So live like you'll never live it twice Don't take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day And tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past Donate every dime you have? Would you call old friends you never see? Reminisce old memories Would you forgive your enemies? Would you find that one you're dreamin' of? Swear up and down to God above That you finally fall in love If today was your last day
If today was your last day Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart? You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars Regardless of who you are So do whatever it takes 'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life Let nothin' stand in your way Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day And tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past Donate every dime you have? Would you call old friends you never see? Reminisce old memories Would you forgive your enemies? Would you find that one you're dreamin' of? Swear up and down to God above That you finally fall in love If today was your last day
I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road And it's not like her to drive that slow, nothing's on the radio Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell She usually comes right in, now I can tell
Here comes goodbye Here comes the last time Here comes the start of every sleepless night The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain Here comes me wishing things had never changed And she was right here in my arms tonight But here comes goodbye
I can hear her say "I love you" like it was yesterday And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way One day I thought I'd see her with her daddy by her side And violins would play Here Comes The Bride
But here comes goodbye Here comes the last time Here comes the start of every sleepless night The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain Here comes me wishing things had never changed And she was right here in my arms tonight But here comes goodbye
Why's it have to go from good to gone? Before the lights turn on Yeah, and you're left alone Oh! But here comes goodbye! Oh!
Here comes goodbye Here comes the last time Here comes the start of every sleepless night The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain Here comes me wishing things had never changed And she was right here in my arms tonight But here comes goodbye, ooh
You say you gotta go and find yourself You say that you're becoming someone else Don't recognize the face in the mirror Looking back at you
You say you're leavin As you look away I know theres really nothin left to say Just know i'm here Whenever you need me I'll wait for you
So i'll let you go I'll set you free And when you see what you need to see When you find you come back to me
Take your time i wont go anywhere Picture you with the wind in your hair I'll keep your things right where you left them I'll be here for you
Oh and i'll let you go I'll set you free And when you see what you need to see When you find you come back to me
And i hope you find everything that you need I'll be right here waiting to see You find you come back to me
I can't get close if your not there I can't get inside if theres no soul to bear I can't fix you i can't save you Its something you have to do
So i'll let you go I'll set you free And when you see what you need to see When you find you come back to me Come back to me So i'll let you go I'll set you free And when you see what you need to see When you find you come back to me
And i hope you find everything that you need I'll be right here waiting to see You find you come back to me
When you find you come back to me When you find you come back to me When you find you come back to me
The moon is pulling at me, the moon is pulling at you You swear to me it's the sun that's shining through It's hard to push for the truth when lies are easy to find I'm left with, I'm left with this trouble in mind
I'm left to counting the days While my life drifts away
Cause you come and go again like the tide While on the shoreline I stand washed of my pride And the truth I keep pushing aside Is that it's time to walk away
Big guns are pointed at me, big guns are pointed at you Everybody's waitin' to see what we're gonna do You spin around and disappear under the floor where I stand I'm left with, I'm left with a bag in my hand
I'm left to counting the days While my life drifts away
Cause you come and go again like the tide While on the shoreline I stand washed of my pride And the truth I keep pushing aside Is that it's time to walk away
Night closes in, but I hear the water rush in To his song I'm a slave I start to sink where I stand, I become part of the sand He covers me like the sea, like a wave
Oh-oh
The road is turning for me, the road is turning for you The light is red like a fire, but you drive on through I stay behind and hear you call "You should have known this from the start" I'm left with, I'm left with a piece of my heart
Cause you come and go again like the tide While on the shoreline I stand washed of my pride And the truth I keep pushing aside Is that it's time to walk away
You come and go again like the tide While on the shoreline I stand washed of my pride And the truth I keep pushing aside Is that it's time to walk away
It's time to walk away It's time to walk away, yeah It's time to walk away I'm walking away, yeah I'm walking away
I dont wanna look Like some kind of fool I dont wanna break My heart over you Im building a wall Everyday its getting higher This time I wont end up Another victim of love
You say that I could Show some emotion That Ive been Keeping secrets from you But I can see through All your sweet talk And all of your affection untrue Im gonna find you out If I scream and I shout You wont break down my protection
Chorus
Im gonna lock up What Im feeling inside Aint no way you can Break down the door Cause this time Ive learned my lesson You can take this declaration of war Step right back Put on your coat and your hat Gonna avoid all complications
