This song is gonna be a git different than the rest of the ones I have wrote, but it's gonna be the only one like it.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Fringe, and I have no idea what the next season is gonna be like.
"It's out turn now, Astrid," Walter said, giddy with joy.
"Yep." Astrid stood, leading the way to the stage.
Walter followed, and after they were both on the stage, they had a brief discussion about their song choice. Nodding, Walter mouthed the song to the DJ, who smiled while putting the cd in and pressing play.
A guitar could be heard, then Walter belted out:
"Livin' my life all alone now"
Peter, immediately recognizing the song, stated, "That's not right! Those aren't the lyrics!"
"Hmm, have you ever thought they could be doing a parody?" Olivia said.
"Oh," her loving boyfriend grumbled.
Astrid sang:
"Nobody to work with me at the Fringe lab"
"She works with Walter," Peter said, confused.
"Maybe they're doing a future 'what if' type thing?" the blonde guessed.
Walter continued with:
"Haven't seen my Astrid in 3 whole years
Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whisky"
Astrid added:
"Wish I had you back here to help me"
Walter finished the verse and the chorus by singing:
"Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
Went to my kitchen today
Ate all my sorrows away
Can't eat your favourite food when I'm not able to go back there
Went to my kitchen today
Ate all my sorrows away
Can't eat your favourite food when I'm not able to go back there"
"Just like Walter to associate everything with food," Peter said and Olivia laughed.
Astrid started the next verse.
"I called you last night at your new house
Olivia knows but she won't tell
But I heard Peter laugh on the
Other line that time"
Does she really think that of us?" Olivia wondered.
"Guess so."
Walter finished it.
"Thought I saw you waiting there in the long line
But now I know it was just imagination
Still haven't seen you for 3 damn years"
"I'm guessing he's talking about a long line in a grocery store."
Astrid sang her version of the chorus and started the next verse.
"I put your lab work away
I wonder where it's been
I can't look at it while I'm sitting next to Gene
I put your lab work away
I wonder where it's been
I can't look at it while I'm sitting next to Gene
I started cleaning the mess that we made"
Walter added:
"Never knew it'd be so hard to go away"
Astrid joined him with:
"Since you been gone my worlds been dark & grey"
Astrid dropped again for Walter to sing:
"You reminded me of brighter days"
"What brighter days?" Peter mumbled, ignoring the fact that his beautiful woman was sitting next to him, and gaining a slap to the back of the head.
Astrid sang:
"I wish you were comin' home to stay
I am headed to church"
Walter continued:
"I am off to drink you away"
Astrid added her sultry voice to his, and they both sang:
"I thought about you for a long time
Can't seem to get you off my mind"
"I wonder..." Olivia wondered aloud.
Walter left Astrid to sing:
"I can't understand why you had to move away
I found your lab work today
I need to clean it up"
Walter continued with:
"I just called to say I want to, to come back home"
Astrid finished the song with:
"I found your lab work today
I need to clean it up
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I just called to say I need help to clean your lab"
"Figures," Olivia mumbled.
The two singers bounced off the stage, and made their way over to the table.
After glancing at the clock, Walter said, "We have time for one more song, then we should head home."
The original song is Picture by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow.
