At The Bottom Of Everything by Bright Eyes

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

The (3)______________ 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 (4)____________ (5)__________ him say
Was to (6)__________ his bloody Mary
And she's (7)______________ 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 this huge mechanical failure
And one of the (8)______________ 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 love you very, very, very
Very, very, very, very much"
And then (um...) he starts humming this little tune
And, it kind of (9)________ like this
Is kind of: 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

We must talk in every telephone
Get eaten off the web
We (10)________ rip out all the epilogues
From the books that we have read
And in the (11)________ of (12)__________ criminal
Strapped firmly to a chair
We (13)________ stare, we must stare, we must stare
We must (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 (16)____________ 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 (17)__________ "death (18)________ give us back to God
Just like the setting Sun
Is (19)____________ to the lonesome ocean"

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

Oh, it was a wonderful splash

We must blend into the choir
Sing ecstatic with the whole
We (21)________ 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 must run

We must (22)________ up in the belfry
Where the (23)________ and moonlight laugh
We must stare into a (24)______________ ball
And only see the past
And in the caverns of tomorrow
With just our (25)______________________ and our love
We must plunge, we must plung, we must plunge
And (26)________ 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 whole world's waking up
All the city buses (28)________________ past
I'm happy just because
I found out I am really no one
