Bright Eyes

    So there was this woman, and she was on an airplane
    And she's flying to meet her fiance
    Sailing above the largest ocean on planet earth
    And she was seated next to this man who, you know, she had tried to start a conversation
    Only the only thing she had heard him say was just the words is bloody mary
    And she was sitting there and she was reading this really arduous magazine article
    About a third world country that she couldn't even pronounce the name of it
    She's feeling very bored and very dispondent
    And then suddenly there was this huge mechanical failure and one of the engined gave out
    And they just started falling thirty-thousand feet
    The pilot's on the microphone and he's saying
    "i'm sorry, i'm sorry. oh my god. i'm sorry" and apologizing
    And she looks at the man and says, she says "where are we going?"
    And he looks at her and he says "we're going to a party. it's a birthday party. it's your birthday. happy birthday darlin'. we love you very very very very very very very much."
    And then he starts humming this little tune and it kinda goes like this
    It kinda goes, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4.

    We must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web
    We must 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 must stare, we must stare, we must stare

    We must take 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 must sing, we must sing
    (it'll go like this, alright)

    While my mother waters plants, my father loads his gun
    He says death will give us back to god
    Just like the setting sun is returned to the lonesome ocean

    (and then they splashed 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 have a soul
    And in this endless race from 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 in moonlight 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 must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge

    And then we'll get down there...you know way down to the very bottom of everything and we'll see it
    Oh we'll see it we'll see it

    All my morning is coming back
    The whole world is waking up
    With the city buses swimming past
    I'm happy just because
    I've found out i am really no one
