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 (1)__________ the...

The largest ocean on planet Earth
And she was sitting next to this man
Who.. you know she had tried
To start conversations
And the (2)________ 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 this huge mechanical failure
And one of the (3)______________ 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 (4)__________ "where are we going?"
And (um...) he (5)__________ 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 (6)________ you very, very, very
Very, very, very, very much"
And then (um...) he (7)____________ 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 (8)________ rip out all the epilogues
From the books that we have read
And in the face of every criminal
Strapped firmly to a chair
We (9)________ stare, we must stare, we (10)________ stare
We (11)________ (12)________ all of the medicines
Too expensive now to sell
Set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell
And in the ear of every anarchist
That sleeps but doesn't dream
We must sing, we (13)________ sing, we must sing
It'll go like this, all right
While my (14)____________ waters plants
My father loads his gun
He (15)__________ "death will give us (16)________ to God
Just (17)________ the (18)______________ Sun
Is return to the lonesome ocean"

And then they spashed into the deep blue sea

Oh, it was a wonderful splash

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

We must hang up in the belfry
Where the bats and moonlight laugh
We (22)________ stare into a crystal ball
And only see the past
And in the caverns of tomorrow
With (23)________ our flashlights and our love
We (24)________ plunge, we must plung, we must plunge
And then we'll get down there
Way down to the very bottom of everything
And (25)________ we'll see it
Oh we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it!
Oh my morning's coming back
The (26)__________ world's waking up
All the city buses swimming past
I'm happy just because
I found out I am really no one
