Bright Eyes/Neil Young cover medley      There's no beginning to the story   A bookshelf sinks into the sand   And a language learned, forgot in turn   Studied once again   It's a shocking bit of footage   Viewed on a shitty TV screen   You can squint at it   The snow and static   To make out what it means   And keep stretching that antenna   Hoping that it will come clear   I need some reception   A higher message   Please tell me what to feel   'Cause I don't know what tomorrow brings   It's alive with such possibilities   But I know that I feel better when I sing   Burdens are lifted from me   That's my voice rising      So T-Bone, please keep the tape rolling   We'll keep strumming that guitar   We need a record of our failures   We must document our love   I sat too long in my silence   Grown too old on my pain   To shed this skin, be born again   It starts with an ending   And I don't know what tomorrow brings   It's full of such possibilities   But I know that I feel better when I sing   Burdens are lifted from me   That's my voice rising      It's not a movie, no private screening   This method acting--I call it living   It's like a fountain, the door is open   We have a problem with no solution   But to love and to be loved      So thank you friends for the time we shared   Your love stays with me like sunlight and air   And I truly wish I could keep hanging around here   My joy is covering me, soon I will disappear      He came dancing across the water   With his galleons and guns   Looking for the new world   In the palace in the sun   On the shore lay Montezuma   With his coca leaves and pearls   In his halls, he often wondered   The secrets of the world   And his subjects gathered round him   Like the leaves around a tree   In their clothes of many colors   For the angry gods to see   And the women all looked beautiful   And the men stood straight and strong   They offered life in sacrifice   So that others could go on      Hate was just a legend   And war was never known   The people worked together   And they lifted many stones   Then they carried them to the flatlands   But they died along the way   And they built up with their bare hands   What we still can't do today   And I know she's living there   And she loves me to this day   I just can't remember when   Or how I lost my way
