So there was this woman
And she was on an airplane
And she was (1)____________ to meet her fiance
Seaming (2)________ above the...

The largest (3)__________ on (4)____________ Earth
And she was sitting (5)________ to (6)________ man
Who.. you know she had tried
To start conversations
And the only thing she had really heard him say
Was to order his (7)____________ 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 (8)__________________ 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 (9)____________________ 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 love you very, very, very
Very, very, very, very much"
And then (um...) he starts humming this little tune
And, it kind of goes like this
Is kind of: 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

We must talk in (10)__________ telephone
Get eaten off the web
We must rip out all the epilogues
From the books that we have read
And in the (11)________ of every criminal
Strapped firmly to a chair
We (12)________ stare, we must stare, we (13)________ stare
We must take all of the medicines

My father (16)__________ his gun
He says: "death will (17)________ us back to God
Just like the setting Sun
Is return to the lonesome ocean"

And then they spashed (18)________ the deep blue sea

Oh, it was a wonderful splash

We must blend into the choir
Sing (19)________________ 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 must run, we (20)________ run

We must hang up in the belfry
Where the bats and (21)__________________ laugh
We (22)________ (23)__________ 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 must plung, we must plunge
And then we'll get down there
Way (26)________ to the (27)________ 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 city buses swimming past
I'm happy just because
I (28)__________ out I am really no one
