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 above the...

The largest 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 bloody Mary
And she's sitting there
And she's reading this really arduous magazine article
About a Third World country (3)________ 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 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 (4)__________ at her...
And he says
"We're going to a party
It's a (5)________________ party
It's your birthday party, (6)__________ birthday darling
We love you very, very, very
Very, very, very, very much"
And (7)________ (um...) he starts humming this little tune
And, it kind of goes like this
Is kind of: 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

We (8)________ talk in every telephone
Get eaten off the web
We must rip out all the epilogues
From the books (9)________ we have read
And in the face of (10)__________ criminal
Strapped firmly to a chair
We must stare, we must stare, we (11)________ stare
We must take all of the medicines
Too expensive now to sell
Set fire to the preacher who is (12)__________________ us hell
And in the ear of (13)__________ anarchist
That sleeps but doesn't dream
We must sing, we (14)________ sing, we must sing
It'll go like this, all right
While my mother waters plants
My (15)____________ (16)__________ his gun
He says: "death will give us (17)________ to God
Just like the (18)______________ Sun
Is return to the lonesome ocean"

And (19)________ (20)________ spashed into the deep blue sea

Oh, it was a wonderful splash

We must blend into the choir
Sing (21)________________ (22)________ the whole
We (23)________ memorize nine numbers
And deny we (24)________ 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 hang up in the belfry
Where the bats and (25)__________________ laugh
We must stare into a crystal ball
And only see the past
And in the caverns of tomorrow
With just our flashlights and our love
We (26)________ plunge, we must plung, we (27)________ plunge
And then we'll get down there
Way down to the very bottom of everything
And (28)________ 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 found out I am (29)____________ no one
