100x450 - 40 - i sing in a single pitch

The stage is empty-- hurrah hurrah so bring out your dead-- dead dollars-- dead money you can't afford to spend because-- because what-- because of eBay Linens 'n Things Crate and Barrel Urban Outfitters IKEA bring out your dead words, dead sounds empty sounds as empty as wounds wound round your head. The stage is empty-- hurrah hurrah there is no longer a need for your proselytizing, there is no longer a need for your dead sounds we have a winner-- the final answer-- yes I'm sure this is the final answer: dead words, dead wounds wound round your head.
