It's All Futile! It's All Pointless! (Your City Gave Me Asthma 1 Year Anniversary Stream)

Rose Lalonde fansong! Second in a set I'm doing of all the Beta Kids. My first A Capella song - it was absurdly difficult to make, so it's not perfect, but pretty good for a first shot, I think!

Once upon a fairy tale, a heroine was born
with heart as black as space and darkness, from which she was torn
and in this fairy tale, she spoke an ancient tongue
the ink as bleary as the void from which our hero’d sprung
she took her thorns in hand, heard the voices from afar
lost her mind and took command, played the game and here you are.

Little lilac wizard girl, with hair as white as snow
you’ll go on an adventure, testing everything you know
you’ll see the world asleep, and see the light awake
find dissonance upon your planet old, which you will break
forsake thy mother’s name, she’s not with you anymore
grab your books and play the game, prepare yourself for what we’ve got in store.

There’s more to darkness than your mind can see
an endless reach of possibilities
no justice, vengeance, no concept of right
yes, darkness is more than an absence of Light.

Little golden goddess girl, with smile as black as ice
take down the universe, and then give it your best advice
the horror is your friend, the terror loves you best
so go now, and push into motion all objects at rest
see through the veil of white, fall into a gothic trance
woe is your perfected sight, you know best that naught is hand of chance

to dance with black death is your specialty
perchance to dabble in what things might be
beneath your eyelids lies an endless night
yes, close your eyes and find an absence of Light. 

Lay your weary head to rest and drift on many waves
and waken after slumber dwindles down the many days
left on the calendar that’s ticking in your mind
a ticking bomb gripped tightly by the tentacles of time
until the clock runs out, paths converging once more
end of all is coming now, you will fade, becoming naught but lore

There’s more to darkness than your mind can see
an endless reach of possibilities
no justice, vengeance, no concept of right
yes, darkness is more than an absence of Light.

Absence Of Light

This song is originally from the Broadway musical Cry-Baby, in this song "Screw Loose" Lenora (played by Alli Mauzy) gets up on stage and dedicates a song to the love of her life Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker. It is so hysterical to watch and I just love the song so much that I decided to cover it. I hope you all enjoy! 

Lyrics:

 Screw loose
 That's what they say I've got
 Or maybe they say I'm not
 Playing with a full deck
 But hey!
 What the heck! Can I do?
 Baby, I've got a screw loose for you

 Bonkers
 That's what they're calling me
 Not metaphorically
 They mean truly insane
 But they can't hear the voice in my brain
 Giving orders to keep loving you

 Eccentric
 Erratic
 toys in the bellfree
 bats in the attic
 But I just don't see the harm
 In carving your name in my a-arm

 *air guitar solo*

 Darling
 It's so
 Hard to be sixteen and schitzo
 But I know it's worth the cost
 I made up my mind which I have lost

 Screw loose
 Clinically certified
 A panel of doctors try
 To lock my away
 But until that day when they finally do
*talks back to voices in her head*

 I'll be here if you need a loose screw

A very good song my sister and I wrote. Enjoy! 🚙

If I had a big van
I’d have a friend Dan
And we would go dancing every night
We'd meet a french band
And make a new plan
To go out and then we start a fight

If I had a big van
Id have a big van

If I had an old bus
Theres be a big fuss
Cuz I would be guzzling all the gas
They’d say that I must 
Be crazy because
I am just driving too fast

If I had an old bus
And I had a big van
Id have a big van

(I’d have a big van)

If I had a red truck
I’d never get stuck
In traffic or caught up in a ditch
I’d call my friend Buck
Who has a pet duck
And also a trailer he can hitch

If I had a red truck
And I had an old bus
And I had a big van
I’d have a big van

(What’s after that?)

If I had a spaceship
I’d take a quick trip
To go and see aliens in space
But I have a hurt hip
So maybe I’d slip
Fall over and kiss em on them face

If I had a spaceship
And I had a red truck
And I had an old bus
And I had a big van
I’d have a big van

Let me tell you something else...

If I had a fat goat
I’d have a blue boat
And we would go sailing on the sea
We’d have a nice float
In the crocodile moat
Just my goaty friend and me

If I had a fat goat
And I had a spaceship
And I had a red truck
And I had an old bus
And I had a big van
I’d have a big van

If I some tall shoes
I’d be the big news
Somebody that everbody knows
But maybe I’d choose
To curl up and snooze
Cuz I would have bruises on my toes

If I had some tall shoes
And I had a fat goat
And I had a spaceship
And I had a red truck
And I had an old bus
And I had a big van
I’d have a big van

If I had a blue whale
That’d make a fun tale
That’s something you dont see everyday
If it didn't go well
And the whale got impaled
Whatever I'd have to swim away 

If I had a blue whale
And I had some tall shoes
And I had a fat goat
And I had a spaceship 
And I had a red truck
And I had an old bus
And I had a big van
I’d have a big van

(Where are we now?) key change (oh!)

If I had a key change
That’d be a bit strange
But I just might do it anyway
It’s out of my range
So I am in pain
Just thought that I'd try something, ok?

If I had a key change 
And I had a blue whale
And I had some tall shoes
And I had a fat goat
And I had a spaceship 
And I had a red truck
And I had an old bus
And I had a big van
I’d have a big van

(Let’s go back to where we were, that did not seem like that worked, we gave it a shot)

If I had a baby shark
(Do do do do do do do)
Baby shark
(Do do do do do do do)
Baby shark
(Do do do do do do do)
Baby shark
(Do do do do do do do)
Baby shark

(I’d have all that other stuff and I’d have ) big van

I had a ... little bug?
No...

If i had a million dollars
(If i had a million dollars)
Id have a big van

Oh dan why did you take my van?
(Why did you take it?)
Buck told me you took my van
(Yes, we used to be friends)
Quack
I wrote this song...etc.
(Long speech about dan)

Que sera sera
If I had a big van big van
I’d have a big van big van
Que sera, big van...
