Immortal Sojourns



"Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down (Performed by Santiago)

Hopping up on the bar, I pull out a blue electric guitar from behind it and slowly strum a few chords before the sound of drums joins in through the CD playing.

Slowly I raise my head and toss the guitar to Daniel. Putting my foot on one of the barstools in front of me, I send it spinning with my foot as I begin singing.
I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind

Picking up the salt shaker, I flip the top off and let the salt pass through the fingers of my other hand when I tip it on end.
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time

Pushing myself off the bar, I walk once around Santino, my eyes watching him closely as I do.
But I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon

I look at Louis and grin at him.
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

I move over to Brenda and cover half my face with my hand, letting it slide slowly over to the other side of my face. The eye now showing, giving her a wink.
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be
Something to do with you

Walking up behind Cat, I put my hands on her shoulders and whisper in her ear.
I really don稚 mind what happens now and then
As long as you値l be my friend at the end

Spinning away from Cat, I stalk toward Armand, putting his back against the wall, my lips brushing against his as I sing.
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I知 alive and well, will you be
There a-holding my hand
I値l keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

I sidestep from Armand and take a bow before Tiffany, kissing the palm of her hand.
You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down

Tilting my head to the side and looking over at Amberlee with a grin after her entrance into the party.
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me then you'd be dead

Moving over toward Amberlee, I kiss her cheek and offer a wink.
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground

Approaching Rikki, I take her hand in mine and rise it up, twirling her around once before me.
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I知 alive and well,
Will you be there a-holding my hand

Stopping her twirl I pull her back against me and kiss her cheek over her shoulder as I continue.
I値l keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

With a flourishing bow before Nicole I offer my hand and guide her out onto the floor during the instrumental part. Spinning her so that her back was to me and slipping my hand about her waist, I pull her back against me. Our bodies move as one sensuous serpent there on the floor and as the instrumental ends, I place a gentle kiss upon the side of her neck.

Approaching Lestat, I push myself back up onto the bar next to where he's standing and rest my arm on his shoulder.
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman

Holding my hand up in front of him, I can't help but smile as he pushes it away and moves over a step so that I have to catch myself on the bar so I don't fall over.
If I知 alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand

Lestat turns and smiles at me. I pat the bar next to me and with a laugh, he hops up and sits next to me, an arm around my shoulder.
I値l keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah!!

With a motion, I invite Louis over to join us as well. While refusing to jump up on the bar, he does stand between Lestat and I. Together, we all finish out the last chorus. A friendship built in the last three years that would never have been imagined.
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well,
Will you be there a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

With a hug to Louis and Lestat, I hop off the bar and take a bow.
