Selling Crack Door-to-Door
Hm. Yeah. So there's this song, 'The Man Upstairs' by Voltaire, who rocks. Some of it sounds kinda like my charas. Behold:
((bolded are the lines that really fit))
The guy upstairs is such a freak,
for five years now I've had a leak.
What does he do up there?
All day long he "sleeps all day"
then he goes out and comes home
in the most intoxicated way.
As far as I can tell, he juggles bowling balls
but he's not good at it.
He moves his furniture then at six am
he pulls out the vacuum cleaner
to suck his room.
The guy downstairs is also crazy,
he spent some time in an institute.
It did him not much good.
He's off his medication
and he starts screaming,
"Virgin Mary, you fucking alien!"
According to him Jesus Christ smokes crack
and other sundry things.
But it's the man upstairs who pulls the strings.
Won't let me sleep.
Please, kill that man upstairs.
If you ever loved me, you'll do this one thing,
won't you sweetheart?
Please, murder that man upstairs.
If you want to be my friend
you'll have to prove you mean it.
I used to think that rent control was a good idea
until I moved in here. Now I'm the only sucker
paying more than a hundred bucks a room.
And I'm surrounded by lunatics who don't
even need a moon.
But it's the man upstairs who pulls the strings
won't let me sleep.
Then there's the lady across the hall
who always knows what's going on
and Machu Pichu down the stairs
who is selling crack from door to door.
14B are refugees and 14A transvestite whores.
But you know who is coming home
he's falling up his drunken stairs......
...If you want to be my friend
you''ll help me get a good night sleep

So! The things:
~The guy singing would be Brandon. He's got teh problems.
~The freak upstairs is Zoka. Manipulative bastard. <3
~The one downstairs is Max. Poor little mental boy.
~The lady across the hall is prolly Becca. She's kinda psychic sometimes, and people tell her things.
~This Machu Pichu person I guess is George (he's one o' Brandon's pack buddies). Tho he doesn't sell crack, he smokes pot. Yes, think of a stoner werewolf. XD
~The 14B refugees ...I dunno. None of 'em are really refugees anymore.
~The 14A transvestite whores are Schu (Sarah's Schu, cuz she says so) and I dunno who else. The one chara I had who did that sorta thing stopped about 1-2 years ago. Won't tell who that is.
--------------------------------------------------------
More things, line by line cuz I'm a dork:
The guy upstairs is such a freak
Yes he is. Zoka is a sometimes uber-sweet, sometimes ultra-psychotic half-demon pretty-boi. I swear he's bipolar or somethin. He can go from totally lovable to complete hellfiend in .2 seconds.
The guy downstairs is also crazy,
he spent some time in an institute.
It did him not much good.
He's off his medication
Max is a little crazy, yeah. Had some serious mental fucking earlier. He didn't actually go to an institute, but I figure if he did it wouldn't have helped any. And he *was* on medication, but he stopped takin it cuz it made him feel yicky. Didn't seem to do much good anyway.
But it's the man upstairs who pulls the strings.
Won't let me sleep.
Uh huh, Zoka's the manipulative bastard, like I said. Never gives Brandon any peace whenever they're together, and rarely when they're apart. He'll mess with nearly anyone that way...at least if they're cute/hot/damn sexy and male he will.
Please, kill that man upstairs.
Please, murder that man upstairs.
These lines are the same thing, so I lumped 'em together. This here is cuz Brandon would really rather like Zoka to die, cuz that's the only way he'll leave the wolfie alone. Thing is, he can't do it himself. There's still that deep-rooted love for the psycho (the enthrallment doesn't help either) that keeps him from doin it. So he wants Zoka dead, but then he...doesn't. Gack. >.o
And I'm surrounded by lunatics who don't
even need a moon.
But it's the man upstairs who pulls the strings
won't let me sleep.
Well? They *are* all loony in their own ways, so yeah. Not just on full moons. Then of course the man who pulls the strings makes things even crazier.
But you know who is coming home
Read with a bit of =meep= because when they lived together, sometimes Brandon was really afraid when Zoka came home. Y'know, like if he was havin one o' his psycho moments. Not good.
help me get a good night sleep
Brandon doesn't sleep well a lot of the time. He'd sleep better if Zoka-chan wasn't around to harass him, that's for sure.
