The 13th Floor

A place betwix the betweens, thought unlucky by some, imaginary by others. Beloved by pirates and paupers, freaks and geeks, barbarians and bards, for here is where art, language, magick, science, and reality waltz. Enter for amusement purposes only - this is but another moment of madness on the wheel of fate. Original Content is treasured here - if creativity flows in your soul, your work is welcome. Birthplace of #cinemainsomnia, #oddradio, and of course, the #13thFloor RSS feed **[Note: this community created by @[email protected], temporarily maintained by @[email protected] while Arotrios is on hiatus or between dimensions]**

Zoo time is she and you time
The mammals are your favourite type, and you want her tonight
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers
This town ain't big enough for the both of us!
And it ain't me who's gonna leave!
Flying, domestic flying
And when the stewardess is near, do not show any fear
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You are a khaki-coloured bombardier
It's Hiroshima that you're nearing
This town ain't big enough for both of us!
And it ain't me who's gonna leave!
Daily, except for Sunday
You dawdle in to the café where you meet her each day
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As 20 cannibals have hold of you
They need their protein just like you do
This town ain't big enough for the both of us!
And it ain't me who's gonna leave!
Shower, another shower
You got to look your best for her, and be clean everywhere
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
The rain is pouring on the foreign
Town, the bullets cannot cut you down
This town ain't big enough for the both of us!
And it ain't me who's gonna leave!
Census, the latest census
There'll be more girls who live in town, though not enough to go round
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You know that this town isn't big enough
Not big enough for both of us!
This town isn't big enough
Not big enough for both of us
And I ain't gonna leave!

@Flip enough with the electroswing spam already. Battles like these end up with the floor being filled with songs about Ping Pong. You wanna take me on - fine, but keep it in the thread, you damned green cigar goblin.

Sparks is such a bad ass deep dive. What a phenomenal pair of musical minds.

Glad you dig! They're something both brilliant and beyond the bounds of most music - good to find someone else who knows how to Get in the Swing.

Sounds like someone's pouting about losing a swing battle - aren't moderators supposed to have decorum or something? I think you broke at least three forum rules with this post, squab. On top of that switching up the format is dirty pool, but that's alright, chump - I can fight dirty too.
