So there was this woman and she was on an airplane, and she was flying to meet her fianceé seaming high above the largest ocean on planet earth. She was seated next to this man, and she had tried to start conversations, and the only thing she had really heard him say was to order his Bloody Mary. 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. And she was feeling very bored and very despondent. And then suddenly there was this huge mechanical failure and one of the engines gave out, and they started just falling thirty-thousand feet, and the pilots on the microphone and he’s saying “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, oh my god” and apologizing. And she looks at the man and 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 party. Happy birthday darling. We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much.” And then he starts humming this little tune, it kind of goes like this: 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.

And 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 setting sun
Is returned to the lonesome ocean.

And then they splashed into the deep blue sea!
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 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 moonlight laugh,
We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past,
And in the caverns of tomorrow with only our flashlights and our love
We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge.

And then we'll get down there...Way down to the very bottom of everything and we'll see it, oh, we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it!

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