Chewing Cotton Wool (Sly Cooper Parody)
Deviation Actions
Literature Text
He's the only one around
And he's sneaking in the dark
And he's cracking every case
He's the only thing in sight
He's the only one I see
And he's jumping through the air
He's the thief out in the night
He's everywhere
And he's looking from the roof
And he's dancing in the rain
He's the trailer for a game
He's the shadow at the end
He's the sound of your own voice
He's someone else's man
He's like living in the City of Light
He's the whirlpool in the sink
He's a memory I recall
And he's waiting in the desert
He's the devil on your shoulder
He's chewing cotton wool
A few years ago, probably back in 2020 when we were still in quarantine, I came across a beautiful song called Chewing Cotton Wool, apparently written about a lost loved one.
Today I made a Sly Cooper-esque-ish parody of it, altering the lyrics a bit to reference the game's titular protagonist, what he does and where he lives - the City of Light, better known as Paris, France.
I imagine this being from the perspective of Carmelita Fox, his girlfiend who constantly tries to put him in jail and only thinks of him 24/7. But I can also see it from my own perspective, at least in the last paragraph.
I subcontracted my shoulder angel and my shoulder devil to a gaggle of squirrels. They don't agree on anything, gives the worst advises in the world, leave an endless trail of acorn shells, and are generally a rowdy and obnoxious lot. But they get the job done: reminds me to take my meds, skip as many snacks as possible, and provide an endless supply of typos and poor decisions. I couldn't be happier
