Title: Musical Inspiration

Righto, here's the premise: I give you the lyrics of a song, you take some of the words and do something with it. Take anything that sparks your imagination, be it a line, a stanza, or the whole thing. Do whatever appeals to you -- a drawing, write a story, epic poem, sculpture, painting, et cetera. Just be sure to explain in the "Artist's Comments" how it could fit with the lyrics you chose. When it's completed and posted, send me a link to it via note.

The end-date to the contest will be December 30, 2006.

Winner gets two drawings from me, subject of his choice, and a link to their gallery/website in my signature until the next contest begins. Second place gets one drawing, subject of his choice.

And here's the lyrics, originally done by Van Halen.

I am a victim of the science age,
A child of the storm, whoa yes
I can't remember when I was your age
For me, it says no more, no more
Nobody rules these streets at night like me,
the atomic punk
Whoa yeah, wow

I am the ruler of these nether worlds
The underground, whoa yes
On every wall and place my fearsome name is heard
Just look around, whoa yes
Nobody rules these streets at night like me,
the atomic punk
Ooo, Ahhh

I am the ruler of these nether worlds
The underground, oh, oh
On every wall and place my fearsome name is heard
Look around, whoa yeah
Nobody rules these streets at night like me, nobody, ah
The atomic punk
