----Bug's Song-----

Title: The Expert

Prompt Page: Optical Illusion -> Phantom Limb -> Weather Pains

Lyrics:

I'm coughin' out the ash and smoke

to tell you that I told you so

Vesuvius was bound to blow

and I felt it in my joints and bones

I felt it in my joints and bones


They said "what makes you the expert?"

is it luck or something else?

Everybody gets hurt when they can't protect themselves

I told you once, I told you twice

i said you must take my advice

what makes me the expert? I was right


about the earthquakes, I was right about the floods

I saw that ice berg coming but the captain didn't budge

I had sensed the huge tsunami that would wipe us off the map

The aches across my body, the alerts before collapse


You're running out of time to listen

ignoring signs and superstitions


What makes you the expert?

Is it luck or something else?

Everybody gets hurt when they can't protect themselves

I told you once, I told you twice

i said you must take my advice

what makes me the expert? I was right


about the warning signs, the subtle ground that shifts

The change in your direction, slow as continental drift

So when you told me it was over The Red Cross was standing by

We had tents and foods and doctors, not a single person died

because when you are so prepared like me, the ground is always high

Your heart is never broken and your feet are always dry


Its not signs or superstition, sometimes its just repetition

that makes you the expert, its not luck, its something else

everybody gets hurt when they can't predict themselves

I told you once, I told you twice

i said you must take my advice

what makes me the expert? I was right


---- Matt's Song -----

Title: Shut Up and Drive

Prompt Page: 1984 -> Rat Torture -> 2 Fast, 2 Furious

Lyrics:

okay you guys have clearly got a history

is it just me or are the windows in here getting kinda misty

the vibes are not exactly off but they're not quite where i thought they'd be

i've got a funny feeling there is something you're not telling me


i don't want to assume, i wouldn't wanna pry

and i don't wanna be the thing that comes between both of you guys

i can leave, it seems to me there's still some meat left on these bones

you can chew each other out all you like when you're alone


shut up and drive

you guys have got a lot to say

but you don't wanna talk so guess you gotta play this game

i won't survive another ride with you i think i'd rather die

i mean it, man

so pull up or shut up and drive


okay, let's do a cold open and cut right to the chase

i've seen a million married couples with less chemistry than this

there are devils, demons, incubi whose blood don't run as hot

all the great lovers of fiction, they would kill for what you've got


but throw a punch and not a kiss, if that's what you have to do

keep your passion under wraps and act like everything is cool

keep pissing nitroglycerine, keep burning it for fuel

keep getting in his face like that, i know you like the view
