Lyrically Speaking - 1/23/23

[littlebeast13]

Our next stop on the Final Fantasy fiend tour is that rotter of the underground, Lich. You'll have to excuse his appearance, he is just slightly undead, after all. So here's a game dedicated to Lich's favorite classical element to destroy.... good old earth! Not Rare Earth, mind you, that would be cause to celebrate....

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea

2. I fell for you and I knew
The vision of your love, loveliness
I hoped and I pray that someday
I'll be the vision of your ha, happiness oh!

3. Then He rolled his big sleeves up
And a brand-new world began
He created a woman and-a lots of lovin' for a man

4. The tired streets that hide away
(From here to everywhere they go)
Roll past my door into the day
In my blue world

5. Makes no difference
Where you are
Day or nighttime
You're like a shinin' star.

6. Powers keep on lyin', yeah
While your people keep on dyin'

7. Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
And smash any hope of democracy?
As the headline says, you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes

8. When I was grown to be a man (Grown to be a man)
And the devil would call my name (Grown to be a man)

9. Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?

10. Moonlight on a duck blind
Catfish on a trot line
Sun sets about nine this time of year

11. Lord I am so tired
How long can this go on?

12. And we don't need the ladies
Crying 'cause the story's sad

I did find the Starlighters on google, but it wasn't a random search. I googled who the group was singing Earth Angel on Back to the Future. It was actually Marvin Berry and the Starlighters. You should deduct that point.
