A theme song for that one story · 6:35pm Feb 14th, 2016
(To the tune of Daniel Amos' "Alarma".)
Brain pain, a parasite lays you on the café table
Don’t say a word to anyone, they’ll say your mind’s unstable
Alarm clock
Your cranium’s hurting
Alarm clock
Dimensions inverting
Alarm clock
Something is coming your way
A song played, an average day, spinning on the radio station
A warning of a future life, a doomsday revelation
Alarm clock
Reality's bleeding
Alarm clock
Warnings you’re heeding
Alarm clock
Something is coming your way
A smart-ass with an hourglass stalks you every morning
Doesn’t know your business but sure knows how to get you run, run, running
Alarm clock
Somebody’s prying
Alarm clock
Somebody’s spying
Alarm clock
Something is coming your way
Something is coming your way...
Wow. Perfect fit. Did you write knowing this or discover it later?
Exquisite. Great theme for both the story and this instance of Best Pony. The intro of the music video also feels appropriate, given the sense of surreality.
Very cool!
3753948 I knew about the band (and even owned the album this song came from) for a few years before starting on Alarm Clock, but didn't consciously model my story on it. I just randomly got the chorus stuck in my head a few days ago, and one thing led to another, and here we are.
