Crestfallen / Eye
Tear
BC: Bonsoir. Thank you very much for coming. Hello to the people on the bridge. Hello to the people up there. They originally told us that we would actually be playing...with the plants. Guess that doesn't translate to French. We'd like to uh, we'd like to dedicate this song to Pakistan...since they decided to now start blowing up nuclear bombs as well. It's really nice to know that peace is at hand. Makes me feel nice and safe, so um, here's to Pakistan.
