Blast from the Past

i
Tik, tak, time machine
Let's hop on this runaway train
Get out of the gangsta's paradise
It's poison in our veins
Through strange ways,
We're still alive somehow
Turned our icon of dominance
Into frozen ashes
We've faces right beneath our skin

ii
Come, my pretty bimbo
Sit here with me, Barbie Girl,
By this yellow lemon tree
Under moonlight shadow
- Sweet dreams, blessed child
Just dream of californication

iii
My eyes on you, summer son:
Whenever, wherever, American idiot
Come lay all your love on me
See, when we're together again
You bring me to life, help me stand my ground
Though sometimes I just lose it
To this damned insomnia -
I'm sick and tired
Of all the things she said

iv
We just want to be rollin',
Larger than life, yeah,
Bring your own damn bombs
Freestylers' offspring's got
A pretty bad touch across the nation
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, aus
We're all just smooth criminals here
And this music, it's kryptonite
For this wannabe skater tomboi
Oh, how you remind me of the past
- These same old songs, same old songs

v
Shh, don't speak
Of what's in your head
Chill, join me in death
The one-winged angel's returned
bury me, bury me
In the end, it won't really matter
That we are, we are
Poets of the fall

THE LAST FOR

Used band names / song names / bits of lyrics that were my favourites in the past.

These are not all of them, by all means, haha, but yeah, thought this'd be a nice way to end NaPo this year.

Some lines have two songs, though.

Hehe... I tried to avoid songs from the same bands, though. D: Hah. Tell me what you think.

And yes, I've a varied taste in music haha.
