I think something’s happening.

It feels like I’m moving.

But I’m stuck in a box.

And I can’t see a thing.

It used to be bright.

I used to have company.

And we were so beautiful . . .

We could see faces

Floating above us.

People were pointing

Down through the glass.

And we would shine . . .

But I’m in a box.

And I can’t see a thing.

But I think something’s happening.

I hear someone talking.

I feel myself rising.

And suddenly --

Light! . . .

And she’s crying.

And they’re hugging.

She says, “Yes!  Yes!”

And they kiss . . .

And he slides me

On her finger . . .

Just for the sake of comparison --

  here are my initial notes for this song:

        Something’s happening . . .

        We’re moving . . .

        I still can’t see anything . . .

        I’m in a box . . .

        For the longest time,

        It used to be bright.

        Under glass.

        A lot of us.

        We were beautiful.

        This giant picked me.

        I got put in a box

        And taken somewhere.

        But now we’re moving . . .

        I hear talking . . .

        And there’s light . . .

        And she’s crying . . .

        And they’re hugging . . .

        And she’s saying, “Yes! . . .  Yes! . . .”

        And they kiss.

        And he slides me over her finger . . .
