[Vorspiel starts with full intensity - 2 bars, full crescendo]

[Vorspiel - 2 bars]

[Verse 1]
[Kirk]
Stop, stop... I can't take it anymore.

[Estefano]
Yet you told me you're in shape. We've been running for ten minutes.

[Kirk]
I know, I know...

[Estefano]
Besides, why have you come in flip flops? Didn' we agree we'll be running?

[Kirk]
We did... We did... It's not that I lied, but...

[Estefano]
You don't do any actual training. Right?

[Kirk]
Right. Let's sit down. See, I brought some sandwiches.

[Estefano]
Is there dairy and meat in them?

[Kirk]
Yes.

[Estefano]
Than I can't eat that.

[Kirk]
Why?

[Estefano]
We're in the middle of a fast.

[Kirk]
A what? Are you kidding me?

[Estefano]
Do I sound like I am? I ate before departing.

[Kirk]
Allow me to at least pour you a drink. I got coke.

[Estefano]
Alright.

[Pre-chorus]
[Kirk]
It's not like on the posters,
No it's not.
* It will get better...
It's not like on the big screen.
No it's not.
* It can get worse...

[Chorus, choir]
* Whether fast or quick,
* Sit down and adjust yer cowlicks.
* Breathe deeply...
* Enjoy the silence
* Far fro the town's violence
* And its distractions.

[Vorspiel - 2 bars]

[Verse 2]
[Kirk]
So, you actually fast.

[Estefano]
Absolutely. I've been doing that since I started school. My mother and sisters were always careful in what dishes they make and what we would bring to school.

[Kirk]
I can't imagine why you're doing that? Is this some kind of cultural thing.

[Estefano]
No. It's a form of self-training. Beside, the Lord Himself fasted.

[Kirk]
The Lord? You believe in that?

[Estefano]
Absolutely.

[Kirk]
Interesting...

[Estefano]
What's interesting in that?

[Kirk]
I don't know... It's hard to verbalize.

[Estefano]
Try me.

[Pre-chorus]
[Estefano]
It's not like on the posters,
No it's not.
* could it get worse?...
It's not like on the big screen.
No it's not.
* It can get way worse...

[Chorus, choir]
* Are you fast or are you quick?
* Why haven't you adjusted yer cowlicks?
* Breathe again.
* Absorb the silence
* There should be no distractions
* To avert one's thoughts
* Away from the one thing needful.

[Instrumental bridge - Ghammaz section with taqsim - 2 bars]

[Ghammaz Section - non-lexical vocalizations]

* 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯...
* 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯...

[Verse 3]
[Kirk]
I've heard of those vegetarians, but as you tell me, you're not into that...

[Estefano]
God forbid. I still have some sense in me.

[Kirk]
You know, it's not that I'm shocked, it's rather I wasn't expecting you to...

[Estefano]
Be this boring and traditional?

[Kirk]
Since you put it this way... A bit... But more importantly, this is an important facet for our interview. Can you tell me about the aspect of self-training? Does it help you focus?

[Estefano]
It does. If you can discipline yourself on trifles, like food, then you can discipline yourself on much harder things.

[Kirk]
Harder things?

[Estefano]
Yes, like tempering your mood, watching before you speak and such.

[Chorus, choir]
* Will it get better?
* Will it get worse?
* Let's keep watching
* Without interrupting
* The natural course
* Are you fast or are you quick?
* Why haven't you adjusted yer cowlicks?
* Breathe again.
* Absorb the silence
* There should be no distractions
* To avert one's thoughts
* Away from the one thing needful

[Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout]

[Outro]

* 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯...
* 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯...
