I get to cry to Barbra Waters, when things don't go my way.
After writing Songs About Rain the day before, Jou came in early once again and caught Kaiba getting ready. Seto this time was not as upset about this early visitation.
"Mutt!" Kaiba exclaimed after he had gotten dressed and ready for the long day of recording ahead of him. "Could you possibly write another sad song for me?" Jou looked at him and thought about it for a few minutes.
"Sure, I guess so..." Jou got the same notebook back that he had written Songs About Rain in and left for the room he wrote it in. When he arrived, a strange aroma filled the air. Katsuya instantly recognized it as dark whiskey, but where was it coming from. He went to the quiet spot in the corner of the room. Kaiba left a bottle of whiskey there. He evened had left it open for Jounouchi. A note was lying next to the bottle.
Katsuya, my pretty blonde puppy,
For your inspirations, I thought that some dark whiskey might be of some assistance. Keep on finding the ideas my precious.
Good Luck!
Seto Kaiba
"Too sweet!" Jou sat down and began to think about what a good sad song would be using whiskey, "Whiskey Dreams? No," Jou spoke, "Whiskey Love? Nah," and then it hit him, "Whiskey Lullaby!"
Whiskey Lullaby (Property of Brad Paisley not Jou Katsuya)
She put him out, like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart. He spent his whole life trying to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night
Chorus:
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away her memory. Life is short but
This time it was bigger than the strength he had
To get up off his knees. We found him with his face
Down in the pillow with a note that said I'll love her til I die.
And when we buried him beneath the willow, the angels
Sang a whiskey lullaby,
La, la, la, la. la. la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
The room was full, but nobody knew how much she blamed herself.
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath.
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time but she never could get
Drunk enough to get him off her mind until the night
Chorus:
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away his memory. Life is short but
This time it was bigger than the strength she had
to get up off her knees. We found her with her face
Down in the pillow clinging to his picture for dear life
When we laid her next to him beneath the willow,
the angels sang a whiskey lullaby,
La, la, la, la. la. la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la. la. la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la. la. la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
"I hope the CEO will like it." Jou looked at the notebook and hugged it. His focus was on the bottle of whiskey and never broke the stare. He then closed the bottle and headed up to Kaiba's recording studio. He peered into the window of the room and saw Seto sitting on the chair singing the song the that he had written.
"Kaiba," He looked at the brunette CEO and waited for him to stop before knocking on the door.
And I get community service, no matter which law I break.
"Katsuya," He looked at the window and removed his headphones to go out and meet Jounouchi, "So are you done with the new song?" Jou nodded, "May I see it?" The blonde gave the notebook to Kaiba. He read it and grinned.
"Do you like it?" Jou asked as Kaiba hugged him.
"Can you sing me something?" Kaiba asked the blonde as he shook his head on a vertical plane. "Sing then."
"I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears. And your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone, these wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just too real. There's just too much that time cannot erase. When you cried I wiped away all of your tears, when you screamed I fought away all of your fears." Jou sang as Seto smiled, "Why did you want to hear me sing?"
"Now that I know that you have a good singing voice, I wanted to know if you would be interested in doing a duet with me on the new song that you had just written me." Kaiba spoke, "Will you, please?" Jou nodded.
I'll make the supermarket tabloids and they'll write some awful stuff. But the more they run my name down the more my price goes up.
