1. Life on Mars? --David Bowie

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go

This actually covers most of Pitch Black, and a bit before. In a weird way. Starting at her home life and moving on through a good part of the movie, it fits fairly well.

2. Creep -- Radiohead

I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

Meeting Riddick, Jack wants to be just like him. This motivation never really goea away, even as she grows up and starts to resent him.

3. Murder by Numbers -- The Police

It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC

Jack's a fast learner when it comes to killing, and it's not really a hard thing for her to learn in the first place.

4. Shot in the Dark -- Ozzy Osbourne

But a shot in the dark, one step away from you
Just a shot in the dark, nothing that you can do
A shot in the dark, always creeping up on you.

Jack's starting to be Kyra, and Kyra's getting dangerous.

5. Little Drop of Poison -- Tom Waits

She left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison
She left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison

Imam to Riddick. Riddick comes looking, and learns that there's no Jack anymore-- she ran off to become Kyra.

6. If You Want Blood -- AC/DC

If you want blood (YOU GOT IT)
If you want blood (YOU GOT IT)
BLOOD on the streets
BLOOD on the rocks
BLOOD in the gutter, EVERY LAST DROP, YOU WANT BLOOD
you got it

Who's the better killer?

7. Karma Slave -- Splashdown

I'm a slave of Karma
Spin the Wheel and I'm a king reborn
I'm a slave to Karma
I'm coming back, yeah, I'll be coming back
But for the last time.

Every time Kyra gets Riddick back, she loses him again. She's got to run off on her own to live, but she's not very good at busting out all on her own.

8. The Female of the Species -- Space

Frankenstein and Dracula have nothing on you
Jekyll and Hyde join the back of the queue
The female of the species is more deadly than the male

While Riddick and the other prisoners get fucked over, die, or are left behind, Kyra's getting the hell out.

9. Hold On To Yourself -- Nick Cave

In the middle of the night
I try my best to chase outside
The phantoms and the ghosts and fairy-girls
On 1001 nights like these
She mutters open sesame and Ali Baba and his forty thieves
Launch her off the face of the world

Surrounded by Necros and Purified up to her gills, Riddick still wants to know if she's with him.

10. I Don't Feel So Well -- Vienna Tang

I don't feel so well
I thought that you should know
I thought that you should know
That I don't feel so well
I thought that you should know before you fall

The end of everything. Riddick has to keep going, but Kyra's done.
