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 (1)________ above the...

The (2)______________ 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 (3)____________ heard him say
Was to (4)__________ his bloody Mary
And she's sitting there
And she's reading this really arduous magazine article
About a Third World country that she can't
Even (5)__________________ the name of and
She is feeling
Very bored, and (6)________ despondent

And then... (um..) suddenly
There was this huge (7)____________________ failure
And one of the engines gave out
And (8)________ started, just, falling
Thirty-thousand feet
The (9)__________ is on the (10)____________________ 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 (11)__________ at her...
And he says
"We're going to a party
It's a (12)________________ party
It's your birthday party, happy (13)________________ darling
We love you very, very, very
Very, very, very, very much"
And then (um...) he starts humming this little tune
And, it (14)________ of goes like this
Is kind of: 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

We (15)________ talk in every telephone
Get eaten off the web
We must rip out all the epilogues
From the books that we (16)________ read
And in the face of every criminal
Strapped firmly to a chair
We must stare, we must stare, we must stare
We (17)________ take all of the medicines
Too expensive now to sell
Set fire to the (18)________________ who is promising us hell
And in the ear of every anarchist
That sleeps but doesn't dream
We (19)________ sing, we must sing, we must sing
It'll go like this, all right
While my mother waters plants
My father loads his gun
He says: "death will give us back to God
Just like the setting Sun
Is return to the lonesome ocean"

And then they spashed into the deep (20)________ sea

Oh, it was a wonderful splash

We must blend into the choir
Sing ecstatic with the whole
We must memorize nine numbers
And deny we have a soul,
And in this endless race for property
And privilege to be won
We must run, we (21)________ run, we must run

We must hang up in the belfry
Where the bats and (22)__________________ laugh
We must stare into a (23)______________ ball
And only see the past
And in the caverns of tomorrow
With just our flashlights and our love
We must plunge, we (24)________ plung, we must plunge
And then we'll get down there
Way down to the (25)________ (26)____________ 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 coming back
The whole world's (27)____________ up
All the city buses swimming past
I'm happy just because
I found out I am really no one
