When it’s not freezing winter here, when not all trees are bare and covered in snow, there’s a gorgeous view from my back window over our green park area that is surrounded by 3 apartment buildings.

During the warmer seasons there was also a homeless man sitting on a bench all day everyday, quietly minding his own business.

His loud drinking buddies made a visit sometimes, fighting with everyone who passed by, but usually it was just him, alone.

A middle-aged woman from the neighbouring building used to bring him food. I could tell it was always the same person as she’s easily recognisable by her big fur coat. She never spent more than a few seconds with him, and their brief conversations seemed more like arguments rather than chats, but this also made me wonder whether they’d known each other from before or they’d only met through her good deeds. But either way, I guess he was one of the luckier ones.

Now the place is empty and many things can be discovered from under the snow that can tell a story – whomever they belong to.

The dragon doesn't work here anymore.  She got fired.

Let's move to California

Get a place in Hollywood

Go to bars that the stars

Are known to frequent

And get their autographs

(We'll get some money out of it)

We'll stay up late every night

And make believe

There are no obligations

We'll roam the town

And say we're celebrities

(And friends of Joseph Gordon-Levitt)

It won't take long

Til they know our names

Til we burst in flames

All over Tinseltown

We'll be cast

In all the big productions

Objects of attraction

Singing all the way to the bank

They won't be able

To call us idiots

Anymore

We'll be adored

We'll be wine

We'll be acid

We'll be all they're craving

Packaged neatly and massively sold

When Hugh fuckin' Laurie

Is my best mate

They will be sorry

(Oh man, will they be sorry!)

They always made us wait

And laughed at us behind our backs

And when we do lines

With Charlie Sheen

All those assholes will be green

(May their envy consume them!)

They will eat us

They will drink us

They will crave and need us

Like a drug they could never afford

They will eat us

They will wine and feed us

Nowherevillians arise

From the gutter to the skies!

When Hugh fuckin' Laurie

Is my best mate

(So get your lazy ass out of bed

Pack a bag

And let's do it!)

They will be sorry

(Oh man, will they be sorry!)

They always made us wait

And laughed at us behind our backs

And when we arrive

At our old school

All the haters

Will fuckin' drool!

And when we are down

And feeling blue

We can tell ourselves

We're no longer me and you

This is what happens when a person loses an hour and half on a bus in a day of flood.

Hope you like it and you want to remix it! :D

The grammatical error is corrected, thanks, sfdetroiter!

brujasur - I hope you like this! I mostly just wanted to exercise my amateur skills in Photoshop - how else do you improve?

The "drop" (instead of "dropped") in the original bothered me, but when I fixed it to say "dropped," I felt it lost something of the pun. Hope this is a good solution ("drop'd"). I tried to make the 'D droop if not drop, hoping to emphasize the word "drop" and give a further visual pun.

D'OH! I meant to crop it before uploading it. Maybe the rough edges are, um, charming. Or if someone wants to clean it up, you could also color in the raindrops' mouths and/or eyes. I couldn't decide on anything that looked good.

I used my photo of the Detroit River for the water drops - not sure if it shows that they're water. I adjusted the hue to a more watery color.

the start of the silliness :)

Another background-y song with found percussion.  

I consider this a matching set with "I See Now" "Is Anybody Home?" and "For You"
