This and "Up and Down" comprise the alpha test of a songwriting card game I made up today. Beta testing happens tomorrow, and then I'll probably make a forum thread explaining the game so everyone can play it themselves.

It's a two player game where one person is writing their song horizontally while the other writes a song vertically. Guess which one this is.

I think I made my grid too dense in this round though, so almost all of the lines are in both songs, just in a different order.

This may or may not end up on an album I'm still working out the exact theme of, called "Wildly Swinging". It's probably to do with mood swings and/or swing dancing and/or picking fights somewhat recklessly.

And let them all sing: It's a new day My foolish clockwork heartbeat Is sure to have its say

And as the sun rises I love you more than that But keep your eyes on the wolf Try not to seem like a rat

His words are vicious and biting Get out! Scram! Go! Leave! More than thunderstorms love lightning As he ladles me into a bowl We're all in this boat together We are not prepared Might be blown over by a feather But I know that we'll stay whole

The old witch whispers Let it be exciting Stirs the pot There's a time and place for everything

Caught up inside the monsoon We all used to live on the moon The stormiest of weather Swallows me whole But sometimes things are better When you're not in control

I don't live at my own pace My girlfriend is from outer space Will be the death of me someday But I love her anyway

She threatens, she tells me I'll be going back home soon But can't keep me down I'm on the rise like high noon

I will always come out fighting With the dangling chains They are the only one broken Because this is my new day
