    Intro-

    So there was this woman and
    she was, uh, on an airplane and
    she's flying to meet her fiancé
    sailing high above the--the largest ocean
    on planet earth and she was seated
    next to this man who, you know
    she had tried to start conversations
    an really--really the only thing
    she 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 couldn't
    even pronounce the--the name of and
    she's feeling very bored and very despondent
    and--and then, uh, suddenly there's this huge mechanical failure and one of the--the engines gave out
    and they started just falling -an- thirty thousand feet
    and 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 she--and she says,
    "Where are we going?" and he looks at her and he says,
    "We're going to a party, it--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, uh, he starts humming this little tune and--and, uh, it kind of goes like this, it's kinda:

    Verses-

    One, Two, One, Two, Three, Four
    We must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web
    We must rip out all the epilogues from the books we have read
    And to 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 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 as static with the whole,
    We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul,
    And to 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 in moonlight laugh
    We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past
    And (in)to 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,
    way down to the very bottom of everything
    and then 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
    Oh the city bus is swimming past.
    I'm happy just because
    I found out I am really no one.
     
  2. guh, i can't stand indi-folk. plus i find the plane crash video to be pretty fucked up in concept.
