At The Bottom Of Everything by Bright Eyes

So there was this woman
And she was on an airplane
And she was flying to meet her fiance
Seaming high above the...

The largest ocean on planet Earth
And she was sitting next to this man
Who.. you know she had tried
To start conversations
And the only thing she had (1)____________ heard him say
Was to order his bloody Mary
And she's (2)______________ there
And she's reading this really (3)______________ magazine article
About a Third World country that she can't
Even pronounce the (4)________ of and
She is feeling
Very bored, and (5)________ despondent

And then... (um..) suddenly
There was this huge mechanical failure
And one of the engines gave out
And they started, just, falling
Thirty-thousand feet
The pilot is on the microphone and he...
He's saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh my God...
I'm sorry" and apologizing
And she looks at the man and she says
She says... she says: "where are we going?"
And (um...) he looks at her...
And he says
"We're going to a party
It's a birthday party
It's your birthday party, happy birthday darling
We (6)________ you very, very, very
Very, very, very, very much"
And then (um...) he starts humming this little tune
And, it kind of (7)________ like this
Is (8)________ of: 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

We must (9)________ in every telephone
Get eaten off the web
We must rip out all the epilogues
From the books that we have read
And in the face of every criminal
Strapped firmly to a chair
We must stare, we must stare, we must stare
We must (10)________ all of the medicines
Too expensive now to sell
Set fire to the preacher who is (11)__________________ us hell
And in the ear of every anarchist
That sleeps but doesn't dream
We must sing, we must sing, we must sing
It'll go like this, all right
While my mother (12)____________ plants
My father loads his gun
He says: "death (13)________ give us (14)________ to God
Just (15)________ the setting Sun
Is (16)____________ to the lonesome ocean"

And then they (17)______________ into the deep blue sea

Oh, it was a wonderful splash

We must (18)__________ into the choir
Sing (19)________________ (20)________ the whole
We must memorize (21)________ numbers
And deny we have a soul,
And in this endless race for property
And privilege to be won
We must run, we (22)________ run, we must run

We must hang up in the belfry
Where the bats and (23)__________________ laugh
We must stare into a crystal ball
And only see the past
And in the (24)______________ of tomorrow
With just our (25)______________________ and our love
We must plunge, we (26)________ plung, we must plunge
And (27)________ we'll get (28)________ there
Way (29)________ to the very bottom of everything
And then we'll see it
Oh we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it!
Oh my morning's (30)____________ back
The whole world's waking up
All the city buses swimming past
I'm happy just because
I found out I am really no one
