At The Bottom Of Everything by Bright Eyes

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

The largest ocean on planet Earth
And she was (2)______________ next to this man
Who.. you know she had tried
To start conversations
And the (3)________ thing she had really heard him say
Was to order his bloody Mary
And she's sitting there
And she's reading this really (4)______________ (5)________________ article
About a Third (6)__________ 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 engines gave out
And (7)________ started, just, falling
Thirty-thousand feet
The (8)__________ 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 (9)________ you very, very, very
Very, very, very, very much"
And (10)________ (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 every telephone
Get eaten off the web
We (11)________ rip out all the epilogues
From the books that we have read
And in the face of every criminal
Strapped (12)____________ to a chair
We must stare, we must stare, we must stare
We (13)________ 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 (15)____________ 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 (16)__________ his gun
He says: "death will give us back to God
Just like the setting Sun
Is return to the (17)________________ ocean"

And then they spashed into the deep blue sea

Oh, it was a wonderful splash

We must blend (18)________ the choir
Sing ecstatic with the whole
We must (19)________________ nine numbers
And deny we (20)________ a soul,
And in (21)________ endless (22)________ for property
And privilege to be won
We must run, we (23)________ run, we must run

We must (24)________ up in the belfry
Where the bats and moonlight laugh
We must (25)__________ (26)________ 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 must plunge
And then we'll get down there
Way down to the very (27)____________ 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
