Guyliner Inspired!

Waiting to get the pictures off of my camera before doing a post about the weekend trip to Key West....in the meantime, here is a LOST parody I wrote about Richard Alpert....to the tune of "Live Like You Were Dyin'" by Tim McGraw.

He said: "It was in the eighteen-sixties,
"With a lot of life before me,
"An' a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
"I spent most of the next days,
"Looking at her sick face,
"An' talking 'bout the options an' talkin’ ‘bout sweet time.
"I asked him when it sank in,
That this might really be the real end?
How’s it hit you when you get that kind of news?
Man whatcha do?

An' he said: "I went horse riding, I went drunken doctor finding,
"I went looking for the medicine that would hopefully help her live.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I asked for forgiveness I'd been denied.
"An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like she were dyin'."

He said "I was finally arrested,
"Pleading for forgiveness.
"An' I became a prisoner destin’ to hang.
"And all of a sudden speakin’ English,
"Was a ticket to freedom,
"And I went onto the Black Rock in chains.
"Thank God I read the Good Book,
"And I took a good long hard look,
"At what I'd do if I could do it all again,
"And then:

"I went wave riding, I went scary statue colliding,
"I went several days a hiding from a monster made of smoke.
"And I dug deeper and I tugged harder,
"And I gave in to the man I’d been in hiding (from).
"An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'.

" Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity,
To think about what you’d do with it.
An' what did I do with it?
An' what can I do with it?
An' what would I do with it?

"Guy-liner, I went John Locke recruiting,
"I went on and off the island whenever I wanted to.
"And then I lied deeper and I smiled sweeter,
"And I watched Flight 815 as it was flyin'."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you weren’t dyin'."
"To live like you weren’t dyin'."
"To live like you weren’t dyin'."
