Well, here are some notes:
-I couldn't find lyrics anywhere online so these are my own. ?s after a word mean that
I'm not exactly sure if that is right, ? runs (for example ?????) mean a phrase that I
just couldn't make out. Even so, I'm not sure if these are all right, but if not, feel
free to correct me.
-I really listened hard over and over again to get this down, and I think it's near
perfect, clear, and easy to understand, but if not, please comment, correct, etc.
-Any questions, ask away!
