[00:01.00] 作曲 : Bright Eyes
[00:03.81]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.
