My Raggae parody-cover of The Cars classic, "Just What I Needed".

Just What I Needed (Raggae Cover)

SongFu Prompt #1 Bioluminescence

Lyrics:

Well you were flying
The kids chased you with a net
Cuz you were glowing
The brightest bug they'd ever met
You were determined
Evasive with a stroke of luck
Til you wound up on the windshield of a truck
Til you wound up on the windshield of a truck

Cuz nothing can glow forever
Every light goes out before long
You thought you'd be worse off in a net,
but you were wrong

Nothing can glow forever
It's foolish to believe otherwise
A firefly looks like any other bug when it dies

So, I tell them
I've caught a glow worm in a jar
I will be cool now
Cuz It's the brightest one by far
And then I show them
It doesn't glow like it once did
Cuz I forgot to poke holes in the lid
Cuz I forgot to poke holes in the lid

Nothing will glow forever
To say the opposite would be untrue
If you don't take proper precaution
Some bug will make a liar out of you

Nothing can glow forever
it could last a billion years or so
Every time you look at the sky
Know that someday every last star will explode
Every last star will explode

Now if you're jealous
Of bioluminescent bugs
I must inform you
They only live a couple months
That's if they're lucky
And they aren't trapped inside a jar
Or plastered to the headlight of a car
Or going super nova like a star

Nothing Can Glow Forever

Nothing Can Glow Forever (New Mix)

An exercise in song writing. The prompt I received was "Being in love with an alien dragon". I made the song about someone being in love with an alien who previously abducted them, leaving off the dragon part. 

Lyrics

Alpha Centauri, Cygnus X-1
I don't remember which star you come from
You wiped my memory

Through hypnotic regression
I can almost see your face
But you've made it hard for me

I know I should be terrified
Instead I'm just obsessing
I fantasize about being paralyzed
while you callously undress me

The table is cold where I'm strapped down
with your mind you say "don't struggle"
You turn on your probe and then you go to town
I only wish there was time to cuddle

The implants in my neck
Give me hope one of these nights
You'll finish what you started

You can't abduct the willing
I wouldn't even put up a fight
Don't leave me broken hearted

My family is worried, my wife is a mess
But I've made up my mind
I want to feel your interplanetary caress
A close encounter of the biblical kind

And if there's a chance you don't feel the same
Would you at least do what is right
and completely remove the memories of you
So I don't wait up every night

If I experience missing time
I'll know that you came back for me
Your willing abductee
Your willing abductee

Your Willing Abductee

I wrote this song to make a music video out of it. Check that out here:

Lyrics:

Why is it that I find peace and quiet
To be such a dark and disturbing place
And why do I assume
Every noise will end in doom
And why do the shadows form a demon face

There just aren't enough pills in my cupboard
To subdue the dread that keeps me up at night
I cant go to bed,
When the voices in my head
Are darker than the morning sun is light

Oh the ouija board
Opened the door into the other side
When the shadow people follow you
There's no safe place to hide

Satan has a plan
Bring forth the fall of man
He sits atop a thrown inside my skull

Every foggy mirror spells a message
The faces scream in the pictures on my shelf
Could a roman catholic priest
Defend me from these beasts
Cuz the other option is to kill myself
