Curtains Up, Party Down.

Set dancemoves to rock n' roll.
And set minds to sex and drugs.
This floor is far too empty.
Time for me to take it up a notch.

Get busy or get gone.
Set fire to this hall.
It's friday night spotlight on me, motherfucker.
And I will show you all.

So let's kick it off with a bang.
Let's drink all night, let's fuck, let's fight.
Goddamn, come on.
I'm going flat out til I pass out, baby.
Is that so wrong?

You know you're a real great girl
Why don't you come home with me?
In the morning I'll be sad to see you go.
But I'll love watching you leave.

The glitterball's got me spinning in circles.
I love being blinded by the lights.
I can't see, I can't speak, cos it's the end of the week
And fuck yeah, I finally feel alright.

So let's kick it off with a bang.
Let's drink all night, let's fuck, let's fight.
Goddamn, come on.
I'm going flat out til I pass out, baby.
Is that so wrong?

This is the first song on the rock n roll album I'm building in my head; hence the first part of the title. The other part should be self explanatory.

Dreaming of Indianapolis

"This next ones about killing yourself by getting a shark to eat you."

Out here, so dark, surrounded by fucking sharks.
This rain, this ocean, I'm drowning in slow motion.

The open air is killing me, I'm finding it so hard to breathe.
Don't know how long I've been drifting for.
The man in the moon is my only friend, but no good at conversation.
I don't want to carry on anymore.

Slit my wrists and thrust them under the tides, the water's reddening tonight.
They'll smell this from a quarter mile, and I will wait for the bite.
The bloody ocean waves are crashing up against this raft.
This life will end piece by piece.
Thank you, my beloved shark.

Please come, please take me, let your daggers rape me
I'm gone, I'm finished, the will to live is totally diminished

Sandpaper brushes on my skin, I want the bastards to begin
I know the beasts are circling me.
With my hands beneath the water level, I scream for the black eyed devils
No trace of my long gone sanity

Then one by one I feel their bites, the water's reddening tonight
I'm limbless but pacified, knowing it's the end of my life
Their frenzied jaws are driving razors through my heart
My life's over, I'm released
Eaten alive by fucking sharks.
