AUTHORS NOTE:

Well, I'm not updating yet. Sorry. I just don't want this to turn into another Heaven and Hell so I'm waiting until I know exactly how the next chapter should play out!

But, dear readers I have dutifully typed up the lyrics to Something Just Broke for you and there's a link to download the song (and ANOTHER NATIONAL ANTHEM)! Just go to my author profile and click on MY HOMEPAGE. Okey Dokey? Coolness!

it's sorta hard to read because its written for around 6 people, i think... the "-" represents a different singer, if you read through you can sort of make out each persons part.

I was out in the yard
Taking down the bed sheets
When my neighbor yelled across
the stree:

"The president's been shot"

I remember where I was
Just exactly where I was
In the yard out back:

"The president's been shot"

I was getting me a shoeshine -
-Folding sheets
-When I heard
-We were waiting for a carriage
-Newsboys
-Lizzie's sheets:

"The president's been shot"

-I'll remember it forever
-And I thought
-Where I was, what I was doing

Something just broke

"The president's been shot"

My God

-I was up near the ridge plowing
-We were working at the plant
-I was halfway through correcting the exams
-When my wife
-It was Mike
-She comes tearing cross the field
-Mike the foremen
-In runs Billy
-I mean, he was crying
-He was crying
-She was crying
-I'll remember it forever
-And I thought

"The president's been shot"

You know what?
There are presidents who aren't worth a lot
-I kept thinking-
There's the kind that gets elected, then forgot -
-Mr. Garfield
-Mr Lincoln
-He's a hack
-Bill McKinley
He's a giant
-He's a joke

Still, something just broke

"The President is rallying. The President is sinking. The President is dead."

Something just broke
-I was down at the Exchange
-Something just made a little dent
-I'd been shopping
-I'd been sick

Something just broke

-All I know, it was a Friday
-Only for a moment
-I remember it exactly
-Something got bent
-I'm taking the order
-Something just left a little mark
-I was getting dressed
-2 potato soups
-Something just went a little dark
-Something just went
-And I wondered
-I was scared of
-What would follow
-Something to be mended
-Make me wonder who we are-
Something we'll have to weather
-It was seeing all those torches-
Bringing us all together
-He was me
-He was us
If only for a moment
-I'll remember it forever
-Nothing has really ended
-Where I was, what I was doing
-Only just been suspended
-Like a flash
-Cause something just stirred
-And I thought
-And I thought to myself
-And I thought
-And I thought
-I kept thinking"

-Something just woke
-Something just spoke
-Something I wish I hadn't heard
-Something bewildering occurred
-Fix it up fast, please
-Till its just smoke
-Till its only something just passed
-Nothing that will last
-Where I was what I was doing
-Nothing but the moment
-Just an awful moment
-But something just...
