| If you don't mind, I'll elaborate on your interpretation for the hell of it, and see if I can manage to fit all of Jim's material together better (not that I claim I will--I've done a pretty patchy job here). See what everyone thinks. Ellipses (...) denote waiting in rhythm for the next word. -------------- JIM (Spoken): You see the Devil's playground? Now it all seems dead, but it used to be here...once! Once it was here, once! Before it disappeared! Once! 'Once' always disappears! But sometimes, when the dark exults and moons arise, in the blink of an eye, the Devil's playground is born again! The Devil's playground is alive again! BV'S: I...will...decorate this city...with...ribbons of blood I...will...find the endless tears...soon...to be a flood I...will...conjure up the magic...far beyond your sight I'll...il-...-luminate this city...with the ascension... Of the light! BOY: In the Devil's playground, all is lost The storms all rumble and the winds are tossed In the Devil's playground, every sad old man Trying to remember whatever they can They will all drown in my flood As I decorate this city in ribbons... Ribbons of blood! All your hope disappears in the Devil's playground The sky whips the sea and you're haunted by tears So come on down to the Devil's playground Come on down before it disappears Broken hearts are the Devil's playground Shattered dreams, disillusioned youth And all of man is the Devil's playground Shameless lies and shameful truth The Devil's playground of trembling hands Hollow hopes and empty plans So come on down to the Devil's playground Come on down before it disappears We'll all succumb! BV'S: Eternal terrors hold us down, keep us plowing in the mud I...will...decorate this city...in...ribbons of blood! Eternal terrors hold us down And we'll all be drowning in the mud! I...will...decorate this city...in...ribbons of blood! In the blink of an eye............ In the blink of an eye............ In the blink of an ------- BOY AND BV'S: I...I... I... I WILL DECORATE THIS CITY WITH RIBBONS OF BLOOD! GIRL: Some day you're so sad and alone Just trying to forget the ways you have grown On that day the grim reaper will call He'll seize without feeling, respects nothing at all! Death will clutch you, no respect for fortune or fame In the blink of an eye, it all awaits you And those devils keep fanning the flames! Thousands of tombstones waiting for names! All of the tombstones just waiting for names! BV'S: Just waiting for names............ BOY: No matter how tragic the loss, No matter how heavy the cost To this very day, I can stand tall and say: "I fought for Paradise, but Paradise lost! I fought for Paradise and Paradise lost!" It wasn't your fault or mine Wasn't this, wasn't that But Paradise was lost In the final at bat Paradise lost in the last at bat | |
