Cut me some slack.
Give me all the slack you can.
This string you've got me on is too tight—too taught,
Not exactly ideal for dancing.

There's a hook in my ribs pulling me up,
A jerk from my feet,
A tug on my arm, charming the crowd, shrouded in bright lights.
My master, the puppet master is
Out of sight, out of mind.
Well, what are you waiting for?

Dance, puppet, dance.

Dance the dance of master and slave,
Give a rigid wave, save face, brave her frigid smile a while and dance to the grave—
And for God's sake, behave yourself, would you?
It's step, kick, step, twirl; what in the world are you doing?
Your form
Yet to conform to the norm of the storming combine is
Off time. Spine straight, chin up,
Neck out. Then again, I've always stuck my neck out for you even if it cost me my
Head. Head my way, stay with me and bury your head in my shoulder.
I'm the one to shoulder your leaded fury. The jury agrees and finds me
Guilty of treason, the reason out of reach and its reach out of reason;
It's hunting season and I'm game.
I'm the bullseye, ready, aim
For me, the porcelain, painted, perfectly puckered puppet, your little
Marionette, starting to sweat under these bright lights.

I'm certain it's curtains for me, my strings are tangling
And mangling the polished wood. Good grief, the crowd is losing interest.
So are you, cue the next act and tactfully douse the lights.
Well, what are you waiting for?

^{Dance, puppet, dance.}

Sing Sing: And so the story goes...

Today is one of those days when I go to war,

The combatants familiar and the Arena…well, me, I guess.
As far as this battle is concerned, I used to sympathize with the underdog.
Maybe it was my hopeless naivety, or maybe the part of my that enjoys a good fairy tale when I can hide from the watchful eyes of the
World. This time, however, the underdog is under much more than just pomp and circumstance, and I know better than to let myself get swept up and the grandeur of yet another Hollywood blockbuster.

Little Little

As a little girl, I used to dream of
Fairies and waterslides,
Taffeta and bona fide princesses,
Sequins and blue skies, fireflies lighting up jaded nights while zig-zagging by the nabbing hands of careless
Children, doing barrel rolls, taking tolls on their bodies while just trying to escape the
Entrapment of a glass jar.

As a little girl, I used to long for
Peace, hand-holding, hair-brushing, touching the
Surface of smooth rocks after their blemishes had been factoried out of them, having a
Butterfly land on my finger, singing to birds and having them sing
Back to me, having them sing songs of love and promise, promisiLittle by ~Scattle

Tripping Down Highways Tripping Down Highways

Today, I realized I made a terrible mistake.
While tripping down the highway, skipping over potholes and holes in logic at a breakneck
Speed, pleading
for the world to slow
Down a bit,

I tried to take
Control, roll over and play
Dead, blast my way through my
Prison bars, dodge cars and politicians, but
I must not have been paying close enough
Attention, since I tripped on a crack in the
Sidewalk and fell face first into
Fire, and holy Hell, did it
Hurt. The whole thing was a rather curt
Encounter, really. After gingerly touching my fingers to my
Skin, I looked up to see a shit-eating grin not two feetTripping Down Highways by ~Scattle

Full title: Guten Tag...Actually, it has nothing to do with German.

I've been tagged, hence the (not very funny) punny title. I was tagged ages ago and I completely forgot about it. Oh well, better late than ~~pregnant~~ never!

What is this? A song-based questionnaire.

What do you do? Choose a song which best answers the question; both the song title and the lyrics can count toward an answer. Please indicate whether your answer is reflected by the song title, lyrics, or both from question number eight onward.
Just to be clear, you get to choose the songs. This is not an iPod Shuffle-like quiz.

Are there any restrictions? You cannot use a song more than once (, this includes remixes and covers). You may, however, re-use artists or bands.

If Jesus could walk on water, and humans are 78% water, if I walk on someone, I'm 78% Jesus?

If guns don't kill people, people kill people,
does that mean toasters don't toast toast, toast toast toast?

So, how was your first day?

Rules are like paperclips: meant to keep things together, fun to bend, and easily twisted out of shape.

There is no problem the human mind cannot solve or create.

Step One is learning the ropes. Step Two is chewing through them.
