(soundcheck ad lib)

Bright like stars
We'll die and they'll still be watching
for a million years on earth
While they scratch their heads to figure
what their abundance is worth

We were here long before the dinosaur boom
Before a church had walls, a kitchen cooked
and beds needed a room

While the taste of orange was being described
And hillbilly bluegrass' name was contrived
We scoured the universe, corner to corner
Which takes quite a while in a morphing sphere,
I assure ya

*Chorus:
We are the music
We are the songs
We've been here to delight you
But you didn't know us all along
Once you tapped into us we helped explain your joys
and why you've wept
This is not a test* ...

(...ing, testing, 1, 2 OTT soundcheck ad lib)

Before the concept of memory coined
And Adam and Eve were conjugally joined
As dust we floated, holy mist
Short after day and night began
We looked at man and turned and ran
The rust, the bloated, the wrongly wished.

Don't dream of us, we are your dreams
And all is lost and as it seems
When you awake
Your soul we take

Chorus

(more grating soundcheck ad lib)

The "ad lib" part is funny. Apart from that, it sounds a bit thin, perhaps because it's only G&G (that's guy'n'guitar, or girl'n'guitar in your case, if you don't know the term). But it's OK.
