THEME/TITLE: “DRUGS”

Anything that one can become addicted to: Cocaine chocolate sex money power love pills weed. Anything that gets you high

TAGS: skirmish, songskirmish, s091221, feast, drugs
WHAT: We will have a one hour skirmish to write to a prompt.*
HOST: @corinne54

Never understood those who need to be the center of attention 24/7 even if it's for drama and events the rest of us would find mortifying, but those folks abound. I feel like it has to be some sort of attention addiction. Thanks for theprompt, @corinne54!

NOTE: I really don't know enough drug terminology and wanted to incorporate more terms, but the more I searched on the Internet, the more I realized I might end up on some damn watchlist, so it s what it is.

Lyrics:

Paparazzi lights flashing
Adrenaline pumps through your veins
All the attention
Higher bumps than a line of cocaine

Latest trending hashtag
Your run-in on the Strip
A little something found in your bag
Get the story on tonight's news clip

Oh, you couldn't stop if you wanted to

Ambition and fame
Are mysterious and cheap drugs
When everybody knows your name
Your grave is already dug

A secret rendezvous
On his yacht in San Tropez
Who leaked all the photos
Your agent wouldn't say

Don’t care if you're caught cheating
The rumors are a rush
That bad girl reputation
Leaves you feeling flush

Oh, you couldn't stop if you wanted to

Ambition and fame
Are mysterious and cheap drugs
When everybody knows your name
Your grave is already dug

Can't handle withdrawal
Notoriety is in your blood stream
The latest drama from
The Queen of Being Seen
If it gets too quiet
The gossip will get around
Just where on the Internet
Your nudes can be found

Oh, you couldn't stop if you wanted to

Ambition and fame
Are mysterious and cheap drugs
When everybody knows your name
Your grave is already dug

Wow! What an amazing skirmish write! Such vivid spot on details and awesome story telling. Great take on the prompt. The lyric flows well!

Excellent storytelling here! Love the way your brain works improvisationally.

A wild, yet very relatable, tale of self-destruction, great skirmish!

What a brilliant story! Quite an accomplishment for a quick skirmish!

dont be so hard on the girl being famous is one of the hardest jobs in the world. hard to get through a day without a taste.

Good capture of the highlife and drugs, a different world to the other life and addiction, although one can go to the other. Very well painted picture lyric.m

Terrific! Loved the repetition of You couldn't stop if you wanted to. I think you really captured the drama and the drive. And I loved "Your agent wouldn't say!" Very impressive for a ridiculously quick write!

Excellent story! So many good lines that have good rhyming and are also picturesque and have a good flow. And really like the "Oh, you couldn't stop if you wanted to."

This is am amazing write for a skirmish. It all feels so planned out from start to finish. The details and visuals make it all pop! Hope to hear it with some music soon!

Powerful and sadly too true in certain circles. Amazing what you did with this in a hour's time. Brilliant.

'Higher bumps than a line of cocaine' great line! My other favourite was 'The Queen of Bring Seen'. That's a title right there! Great skirmish - fabuloso!

Very good indeed. I like the 'your grave is already dug' line, its very powerful.

Really impressive lyrics. You've captured the phenomenon of attention addiction quite well.

nice! alot of well thought out psychological observation here, especially in a world ruled by screens and 'likes' on social media!

well done!

A really strong character portrait - drama and attention are indeed powerful drugs, and this paints a vivid picture of the kind of things the road of chasing them leads to. Great write!
