At The Bottom Of Everything by Bright Eyes

So there was (1)________ woman
And she was on an airplane
And she was flying to meet her fiance
Seaming (2)________ (3)__________ the...

The largest ocean on planet Earth
And she was sitting (4)________ to this man
Who.. you (5)________ she had tried
To (6)__________ conversations
And the only thing she had really heard him say
Was to order 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 pronounce the name of and
She is feeling
Very bored, and very despondent

And then... (um..) suddenly
There was (7)________ 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 (8)________________ darling
We love you very, very, very
Very, very, very, very much"
And then (um...) he starts humming (9)________ little tune
And, it kind of goes (10)________ this
Is (11)________ of: 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

We must talk in every telephone
Get eaten off the web
We must rip out all the epilogues
From the books (12)________ 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 (13)________ (14)________ all of the medicines
Too expensive now to sell
Set fire to the preacher who is (15)__________________ us hell
And in the ear of every anarchist
That sleeps but doesn't dream
We must sing, we must sing, we (16)________ sing
It'll go like this, all right
While my mother waters plants
My father loads his gun
He (17)__________ "death will give us back to God
Just like the setting Sun
Is return to the lonesome ocean"

And (18)________ they spashed into the deep (19)________ sea

Oh, it was a wonderful splash

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

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