One mother rises
Pulling the sheets from the crib
All the disguises
Wandering stars, what she did
All the king's horns
All the king's men
Saddled and worn
Raise the dead
Holy, an infant
He came to raise up the dead

Wandering wise men
What did you bring to his bed?
Shapeless surprises
Incense to bring to the dead
Nothing is wrong
It's what she did
All the king's horns
And the king's men
Nothing is wrong
It's what she did
All the king's horns
And the king's men

Nothing is wrong
It's what she did
All the king's horns
Raise the dead
Nothing is wrong
It's what she did
All the king's horns

There needs to be way more T:TSCC vids out there. I think I can count all of them on two hands.

I have a major thing for dream sequences in shows and movies. Some of my favorite episodes are the dream ones, like Buffy's Restless. I think I'm drawn to the idea of mucking about in someone's brain.

Listening to the song, it bordered on perfect and absolutely wrong, so I'm glad it worked for you. I was really debating if it worked or not.

I usually love dream sequences very much. Adored Restless. It is odd that I did not like the T:TSCC one (or not that one in particular). I guess I just didn't get a lot out of it or I didn't get the point of it? Or I found it too empty or something. *frets at it*

I read really far into Sarah dreams, like the penis cacti, the dresses made pre-industrial age before fabric was machine-made, Cameron nursing babyturtle!John, Sarah climbing down into the grave. I think what made me like it so much was the sheer weirdness of it and that it worked for my vid. It certainly isn't one of the best dream sequences, like the Smallville one of Lex in the sunflower field.

Oh goodie. I'm glad you liked it. After I sent them off I had a split second thought of "oh, I hope she won't be offended that I called her hooker." So yay! I love Lafayette.

HEE. Who could be offended by Lafayette? It's fab! \o/

YAY! I adore Lafayette. Probably the life of a Christmas party.
