Song by Kimya Dawson<br /><br>

there's anthrax in the envelope i opened in my dream <br>

the sky is red and little kids are running, screaming in the street <br>

i tried to run and save them but i had molasses feet <br>

i keep having nightmares and i'm scared to go to sleep <br>

<br>

if you fall in i'll jump down <br>

and touch your face while we're both sinking <br>

(stinking thinking) we won't drown <br>

you are my friend <br>

and what we're doing's too important <br>

for our lives to end quite yet <br>

<br>

in montreal i got so mad, someone broke into the van <br>

stole my guitar and aaron's bag <br>

then we turned on cnn, watched the towers fall again <br>

and realized that our lives aren't so bad <br>

<br>

this is just a test take it with love and you will pass <br>

you will be rewarded if you do your very best <br>

nothing ever goes as planned so don't take anything for granted <br>

if you do the world will kick your ass <br>

<br>

the air is filled with computers and carpets <br>

skin and bones and telephones and file cabinets <br>

coke machines, firemen, landing gear, and cement <br>

they say that it's okay but i say don't breathe in <br>

<br>

the air is filled with computers and carpets <br>

skin and bones and telephones and file cabinets <br>

coke machines, firemen, landing gear, and cement <br>

they say that it's okay but i say don't breathe that shit in <br>

<br>

an angel named gabriel is watching over you <br>

he was a friend mistreated now he's dead so say you're sorry to him <br>

when you say your prayers tonight if you make amends <br>

the gates to heaven here on earth will open up again <br>

<br>

if you fall in i'll jump down <br>

and touch your face while we're both sinking <br>

(stinking thinking) we won't drown <br>

you are my friend <br>

and what we're doing's too important <br>

for our lives to end quite yet<br>
