Dyin’ in the Rain: Movie Concept
by Alex Grehy

See that sofa? Make it snap in half,

have two stars break their necks

let the main man stumble out,

he’s got nerve damage, looks

like he’s jiving in the rain, but really

he’s grabbing that lamp for support,

now that’s when the lightning strikes;

the electrical charge grips his hands,

his arms spasm, rigid, outstretched,

forcing the pose, the post shakes,

he jiggles like a pole dancer. Yeah,

the smoke from his frying flesh

really adds to the atmosphere.

And the dumb broad with the

squeaky voice? That’s the

new standard for music,

redefining talent

for our times.
