The Rider on the Storm (tag Lorne)

[Carver]

He strode into Caritas. Never got used to this place, and at other times, he downright hated it. Evil singing and dancing.

He walked up to Lorne. "I've got a future I'd like to know more about, and a lady."

[Lorne]

Lorne was enjoying his nice sea breeze and for the first time today heard someone worth singing on stage he smiled; then somethin interupted him from his bliss.

"I've got a future I'd like to know more about, and a lady."

He turned and smiled. "Well That's all good, but you know the rules and if you don't here they are." He smiled and turned his body twords the man. "You got to sing sugar pie, up on stage. I can only read thoughts if you sing."

[Carver]

He picked a song, and stood up on stage, taking the microphone in one hand.

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house were born
Into this world were thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

Theres a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house were born
Into this world were thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm

He finished to slight applause, and hopped down.

"What do you see?"

[Lorne]

Lorne's eyes were kind of wide when she saw the lamb he was after. "Lilah Morgan from Wolfram and hart, she's a..." she chose his words carefully. "...well she is a great choice, but i got to tell you. Becareful, I see you with her. But i'm not sure if its the together your looking for."

Lorne really wasn't sure, the future was always unclear. "But i did see something else in wolfram and hart's future. You'll find what you seek, one out of the two. The raven haired women is as good as wolfram and harts, she'll walk right to you... in a matter of speaking."

[Carver]

"Well, I can't say that's the most obvious telling of my future ever, but it's far from the most cryptic." he said. "All I know is you said, 'Lilah' 'together' and 'you' meaning me, so it can't be that bad."

[Lorne]

"I suppose not, But lilah is well." Only if things changed he said, only of things change. "I didnt see much, and Working for Wolfram and hart doesn't exactly make it that much safer Carvy-pie."

"I mean you got competetors and other demons, looking for revenge or getting angry." He smiled. "She is a strong women, so its probally nothing." he smiled and turned his attention to the stage. "Or he's dying tonight..." he shakes his head to the Kar'tis demon on stage.

[Carver]

"I'm strong, and so is she, even in a different way." he said. "I'll protect her. Well....thanks."

He turned, and headed outside, back to his job.

[Lorne]

Lorne watched as the Carver left and shook his head. "You got a long road Bubby, you and your future whoever..." Lorne headed for the stage and smiled as the croud cheered.

"well That was a great song huh, one of the best tonight, i like to close you all with a little song. one of my personal Favorites, so sit back and relax and let The host, sing..."

Cry-y-y ... ha ha ha ha ... baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Welcome back home.

I know she told you,
I know she told you that she loved you
Much more than I do,
But I know she left you,
And you swear that you just don't know why,
Well, honey I swear I'll always be round
If you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, yeah,
Oh, like you always seem to do.

Don't you know,
Honey, nobody ever gonna love you
The way I try to do.
Who'll be willing to take your pain
And all your heartache, too ?
Honey, I swear I'll always, I'll always be around
If you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby yeah, cry baby, yeah,
Oh daddy, welcome back home, yeah.

I know when you're sharp and round, babe,
Seems like the grass always looks greener,
When you're looking over there in somebody else's back-yard
So I know what you're tryin' to tell me
When you say, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama,
I've gotta go out shopping for my life
I've gotta find my, my own true third eye,
Hare Krishna identity out there on the road there.

And although it may be comfortable here
Sleeping in all your nice bed with all those satin sheets
And all that nice fur, eatin' all that chicken
Gettin' stoned, havin' a good time I have to go and rough it
I have to go to Africa
Or I have to go to Omaha, or some place like that,
I have to find myself, you know what I mean ?
So there's this stud, man, walkin' around the fuckin' highways of America with a pack on his back
Lookin' for his identity, right ?

Well, I want to say baby don't you know you left your mama here all alone ?
You left your good lovin' mama right at home
And that should be identity enough for any man, ha ha ha!
So I said baby, I know that you're gonna come home to me some day
And I'll be able to tell when you walk in my front door
I do, I just do believe that I can be lookin' in your eyes
So Lord, you finally realize
So you can put your head on my shoulder, babe,
'Cause I know you got some more tears to share,
Come on, let it go,
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
Honey, cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry,

Honey when you got some more tears to shed
Honey I won't let a man stand in your way, babe,
You have to snap all your fear from the door house away dear
You just gotta let it go, baby, come on,
Honey cry, oh, cry to me baby.
