While going through some old writing of mine, I came across a ton of unposted filks. In almost all of those cases, you guys are the fortunate party. However, I found this filk of "Moonage Daydream" from an abandoned project written in early 2007, and thought it's probably good enough to go ahead and post (with a few minor changes).
I remember also partially completing "Starman" as a companion to this, but unfortunately that seems to be lost. Tokyo Nightmare With apologies to David Bowie I'm a failing artist, I'm a gaijin gamer runnin' away I'm a stranded tourist, I'll find my way through shoujo games Read some girls' books, you're givin' me those Japanese words And I'm stumblin' like an anime nerd Keep your schoolgirl eyes off me, babe Take your plaid-skirts from my mind Keep your flat chest off of mine, girl Freak out in a Tokyo nightmare, oh yeah! Don't steal it schoolgirl, give that bookbag to me My book of sad sketches is such a worthless thing to keep Leave me, schoolgirl, leave me here to whine and moan Let me keep myself alone Keep your schoolgirl eyes off me, babe Take your plaid-skirts from my mind Keep your flat chest off of mine, girl Freak out in a Tokyo nightmare, oh yeah! Keep your schoolgirl eyes off me... Oh why? No wai! Kawaii! |

I like your words.
But I can't make heads or tails out of the original, so I can't tell how well they fit there... not a huge fan of David Bowie... or any sort of fan, really. So, I'm mostly posting to support you, but with nothing helpful to say. I'm cool like that. KLUVUBAIBAI |

As much as I like some of David Bowie's works, this is one of the ones I'm not as familiar with.
 Otherwise it works fairly well against the original theme as far as I can tell. I don't have much more to say except to echo Zippo's KLUVUBAIBAI.  ~shadowrider (sings along to it, cause it's cool) |

If it helps, you can find the lyrics (and tons of other info on this song) here, at the bottom of that page.
Criticism is welcome, not required. ;) This post has been edited by Wavebird_Ocelot on May 25 2009, 06:09 PM |
