The Fire Burns
Celebrating ten years.
For my ten-year wedding anniversary, I wrote alternate lyrics to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire," which I sang in person with my best man Matt King on pre-recorded duet.
Here they are:
Butcher
cleaver to the chest, indie acting is the best
Chapman Uni, Orange
County, let's get outta there
Hello Kitty, little hats, He-Man and
ThunderCats
Shabu Shabu, Spicy tuna, Valentine's Day
Hollywood,
Burbank, Toluca Lake in the drank
Stacy, for therapy, proposal for
eternity
Geek chic daily, Nerdist, Topless Robot daily list
Toby
Kitty, new adoption, best exclusive, Cat Con
They'll
never stop our marriage
It was always fated, since the day we
dated
We'll never end our marriage
Though there's lots of
fartin', there'll be no departin'
Shameless,
Scream Queens, Divos star, Peter Berg zombie-scarred
Strand-up
joking, improv-taking, actress supreme
Press Club, Wizard World,
Comic-Con, cat's hurled
Brighter writer works hard, can you see a
theme?
Move
out, Van Nuys, Joshua Tree's very nice
Sylva, Asheville, meeting
Nan, Pounding Mill, Disneyland
Vegas, Mexico, Circus Circus, Let's
go!
Travelling far, in our car, marching songs from the bar
We'll
always be together
Two creative talents with a work-life
balance
We'll be true loves forever
From the rural setting to
the coin-op betting
Obama,
Tea Party, Sarah Palin, Fox TV
Sherriff, Arpaio, racist crap, got
to go
Wrestling, pay-per view, Vince and AEW
Ass-kissing
screener list, Helen Mirren wasn't pissed
Orange
bad man, Trump crimes, stupid Elon Musk and Grimes
Zuckerberg,
TikTok, phones on around the clock
Martha, appraisal best, study
up and take the test
Covid-19, plague fear, 2020 the worst year
We
didn't crack through lockdown
We got even closer, we were vaccine
dosers
We bonded more through lockldown
Though it brought more
bilsl it gave us better skills
Decade
long, we've stayed, never ran, never strayed
Thompson, Boyd team,
marriage works like a dream
Squishmallows invade our home,
dinosaur eats garden gnomes
4K, TV, Drag Race, House
Prairie
movies, legacy, raised to think freely
James and John!
Now they're gone! But their values still live on!
Never forget the fathers
They knew war and teaching, never trusted preaching
Those were the greatest fathers
Both were baby boomers, and they went too sooner
Luke
Y. loves Julia Boyd, even if he acts annoyed
Julia, through pain,
would probably say the same
Screw the haters, Rachel's gone,
Loyalty is #1
narcissists better flee, we've got too much good to
see
Decade
marriage, very good, record for Hollywood
But there's more, years
in store, Hope to make at least three score
Union of two beating
hearts, This whole time was just the start
Collaborators, making
art, loving till death do us part!
We'll
always be together
We're the bestest pairing, in the time we're
sharing
We'll always be together
Even when we're gone
the
spark lives on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and
on
