[00:03.712]You can make a plan
[00:07.967]Carve it into stone
[00:12.218]Like a feather falling
[00:16.461]It is still unknown
[00:20.456]Until the clock speaks up
[00:24.700]Says it's time to go
[00:28.706]You could choose the high
[00:32.963]Or the lower road
[00:37.204]You might clinch your fist
[00:41.211]You might fork your tongue
[00:45.460]As you curse or praise
[00:49.710]All the things you've done
[00:53.959]And the faders move
[00:58.207]And the music dies
[01:02.209]As we pass over
[01:06.453]On the arc of time
[01:10.460]So you nurse your love
[01:12.709]Like a wounded dove
[01:14.705]In the covered cage of night
[01:18.964]Every star is crossed
[01:20.954]By phrenetic thoughts
[01:22.964]That separate and then collide
[01:27.203]And they twist like sheets
[01:29.205]Till you fall asleep
[01:31.466]And they finally unwind
[01:35.707]It's a black balloon
[01:37.712]It's a dream you'll soon deny
[01:48.209]I hear if you make friends
[01:52.206]With Jesus Christ
[01:56.465]You will get right up
[02:00.467]From that chalk outline
[02:04.709]And then you'll get dolled up
[02:08.967]And you'll dress in white
[02:13.206]All to take your place
[02:17.208]In his chorus line
[02:21.457]And then in you'll come
[02:23.471]With those marching drums
[02:25.708]In a saintly compromise
[02:29.706]No more whiskey slurs
[02:31.959]No more blonde haired girls
[02:33.962]For your whole eternal life
[02:38.204]And you'll do the dance
[02:40.214]That was choreographed
[02:42.458]At the very dawn of time
[02:46.214]Saying, I told you son
[02:48.709]The day would come
[02:50.714]You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die
[02:52.713]You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die
[02:54.958]You would die, you'd die, you'd die, you'd die
[02:56.961]You would die, you'd die, you'd die
[03:07.452]To the deepest part
[03:09.468]Of the human heart
[03:11.462]The fear of death expands
[03:15.713]Till we crack the code
[03:17.710]We have always known
[03:19.957]But could never understand
[03:23.961]On a circuit board
[03:26.212]We will soon be born
[03:28.208]Again, again, again, again
[03:30.213]And again, again, again, again
[03:32.465]And again, again, again, again
[03:34.461]And again, again, again
