Lyrics
Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rivals
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds, still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rivals
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rivals
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

What a brilliant song choice. The poor cows still make me laugh.

AWESOME song choice. And excellent timing and emphasis on all the flying stuff and explosions!

[littleheaven]

Thank you so much, Festividder! I loved this. It really captured the essence of Jo's relationship with tornadoes. I really liked the probes getting sucked into the tornado to the "rising up" lyric, and I lol'd at the flying cows :o) Great job!

I really like how personified the storm becomes in this, a real presence, and how that works to show Jo's relationship with it.

I LOLed at the song choice, but you really made it work with the source.
