For challenge #5, we're changing things up a bit.  For this time around, we're gonna let our wonderful members offer up prompts.  Challenge #5 will focus on song lyrics.  Members can prompt lyrics to songs and come the beginning of September, the prompts will be compiled.  From there, authors can choose from the prompts.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask. 

PROMPTING IS NOW OPEN!

Rules: 
- No more than 2 prompts per member.
- Prompts must be lyrics from a song. Nothing too long, 2-6 lines.
- Artist and song title must accompany the selected lyrics.
- Song must be easily available online (either a download or youtube vid, preferably) or prompter must provide link to download song (at the end of the challenge, all the prompts/songs chosen will be put into a zipped file for download).
- The story does not have to follow the song, only the prompted lyrics.
- Deadline for prompting is August 25, 2011.  NO EXCEPTIONS.

Examples: 
I still see you on your knees begging me not to drive
But I took away the keys and made you climb inside
And I’d take your place in this field of stone, if I only had the power
Look what it took for me to finally bring you flowers
Chris Young - "Flowers"

Blinded by your sacred faded past times
Only time is your enemy
Granted a second chance
To prove that your arrogance
Is stronger than you'll ever be
Godsmack - "Cryin' Like A Bitch"

Conjure One - Sleep
Drown out the machinery in my head
Bring your peace of mind to my bed

"Rockin' In The Free World"
Neil Young
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.

Not sure I did this right and the lyrics are alittle long

Thank you! You did fine :)
The lyrics are pretty long. Do you think you could shorten it to about 6 lines? Maybe combine a couple of the lines, so that while a bit longer, won't look so long in the end?

How about this? Still sounds ok?
