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 (1)______________ ocean on planet Earth
And she was sitting (2)________ to this man
Who.. you know she had tried
To start conversations
And the only thing she had really heard him say
Was to order his (3)____________ Mary
And she's sitting there
And she's reading this really (4)______________ magazine article
About a Third World country (5)________ she can't
Even (6)__________________ the name of and
She is feeling
Very bored, and very 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 (7)__________ to a party
It's a birthday party
It's your (8)________________ party, happy (9)________________ darling
We love you very, very, very
Very, very, very, very much"
And then (um...) he (10)____________ humming this little tune
And, it kind of goes like this
Is kind 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 that we (11)________ read
And in the face of (12)__________ criminal
Strapped firmly to a chair
We (13)________ stare, we must stare, we must stare
We must take all of the medicines
Too expensive now to sell
Set fire to the (14)________________ who is promising 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 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 (15)________ the (16)________ (17)________ sea

Oh, it was a wonderful splash

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

We must (22)________ up in the belfry
Where the bats and (23)__________________ laugh
We must stare (24)________ a crystal ball
And only see the past
And in the (25)______________ of tomorrow
With just our flashlights and our love
We must plunge, we must plung, we (26)________ plunge
And then we'll get (27)________ 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 (28)__________ world's waking up
All the city (29)__________ swimming past
I'm happy just because
I found out I am really no one
