BC: Good evening, good evening, good evening. How’s everybody doing tonight? Alright! Heh. I'd like to take this moment to thank you for coming to the show tonight. It's not bad, we've been here three times in a year, that's not too bad, I think. 'Course we just keep playing to the same people every time, but it's cool. I'd like to introduce to you a modern day mystic, he's achieved a new harmonic convergence in his life and he wishes to bring it to you. Mr. James Iha.

(BC midsong: Into the eyes we hold in. We dream this dream of love. And in the time I am withholding, my fears that seem to come from above but when I’m inside, they come even on faster and create a loop that I cannot escape from. Yeah. Everyone talks about revolution, everybody talks about revolution, everybody wants that evolution, but no one wants to pay the price, no one wants to pay the price. What is the price to pay? What is the price to pay? We are the machines. We speak this dream. We are the machines. We are the machines of goooooood. Of goooooood. Of gooooood. (growl rising to a scream) Goooooooooo!)
