So there was this woman and |
| [00:05.75] |
she was, uh, on an airplane and |
| [00:08.44] |
she's flying to meet her fiancé |
| [00:10.33] |
sailing high above the largest ocean on planet earth |
| [00:15.31] |
and she was seated next to this man who, you know |
| [00:18.50] |
she had tried to start conversations |
| [00:20.89] |
an really--really the only thing |
| [00:23.08] |
she heard him say was to order his bloody mary |
| [00:27.46] |
and she's sitting there and she's reading |
| [00:30.05] |
this really arduous magazine article about |
| [00:32.63] |
a third world country |
| [00:34.19] |
that she couldn't even pronounce the name of and |
| [00:37.87] |
she's feeling very bored and very despondent |
| [00:44.49] |
and--and then, uh, suddenly there's this huge mechanical failure |
| [00:50.02] |
and one of the--the engines gave out |
| [00:52.46] |
and they started just falling an thirty thousand feet |
| [00:57.49] |
and the pilot's on the microphone and he's saying, |
| [01:01.83] |
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Oh My God, I'm Sorry" " |
| [01:05.34] |
and apologizing and she looks at the man and she--and she says, |
| [01:10.42] |
and he looks at her and he says, " |
| [01:17.00] |
"We're going to a party, it's a birthday party. " |
| [01:23.62] |
It's your birthday party, happy birthday darling. |
| [01:27.12] |
We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much. " |
| [01:32.26] |
And then, uh, he starts humming this little tune and |
| [01:35.54] |
and, uh, it kind of goes like this, it's kinda: |
| [01:38.03] |
One, Two, One, Two, Three, Four |
| [01:48.75] |
We must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web |
| [01:53.13] |
We must rip out all the epilogues from the books we have read |
| [01:57.62] |
And to the face of every criminal strapped firmly to a chair |
| [02:01.60] |
We must stare, we must stare, we must stare. |
| [02:06.28] |
We must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell |
| [02:10.91] |
Set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell |
| [02:15.25] |
And in the ear of every anarchist that sleeps but doesn't dream |
| [02:19.44] |
We must sing, we must sing, we must sing. |
| [02:23.37] |
And it'll go like this, alright |
| [02:24.84] |
While my mother waters plants my father loads his gun. |
| [02:33.55] |
He says, "Death will give us back to God, |
| [02:38.04] |
just like the setting sun |
| [02:42.62] |
is returned to the lonesome ocean. " |
| [02:55.02] |
And then they splashed into the deep blue sea. |
| [03:03.68] |
(Oh,)It was a wonderful splash. |
| [03:14.10] |
We must blend into the choir, sing as static with the whole, |
| [03:18.53] |
We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul, |
| [03:23.11] |
And to this endless race for property and privilege to be won |
| [03:27.30] |
We must run, we must run, we must run. |
| [03:32.03] |
We must hang up in the belfry where the bats in moonlight laugh |
| [03:36.61] |
We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past |
| [03:41.04] |
And (in)to the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlights and our love |
| [03:45.27] |
We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge. |
| [03:49.37] |
And then we'll get down there, |
| [03:50.91] |
way down to the very bottom of everything |
| [03:53.55] |
and then we'll see it, oh we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it. |
| [03:57.09] |
Oh my morning's coming back |
| [04:01.07] |
The whole world's waking up |
| [04:05.50] |
Oh the city bus is swimming past. |
| [04:10.04] |
I'm happy |
| [04:11.18] |
just because I found out I am really no one. |
