All of the astronauts
Champagne in plastic cups
Waiting for the big hero to show
Outside the door he stands
His head in his hands
And his heart in his throat

What can he tell them now?
Sorry I let you down
Sorry it wasn't quite true
But don't get hung up on it
Just solider on with it
And good luck with shooting the moon

Shooting the moon
Shooting the moon
The moon
Shooting the moon

All of the principals, generals, admirals
And the podium lit with the spotlight
The crowd buzzes quietly
Waiting expectantly like it's opening night

What can he tell them now?
Sorry I let you down
Sorry it wasn't quite true
But don't get hung up on it
Just solider on with it
And good luck with shooting the moon

Shooting the moon
Shooting the moon
The moon
Shooting the moon

Invincible

playlist position: 102 - Breaking Dawn Book Three (6) #29
artist: OK Go
album: Oh No
track number: 1/13
year: 2005








Breaking Dawn: Book Three – Chapter 38
I could taste it as soon as it touched my shield—it had a dense, sweet, cloying flavor. It made me remember dimly the numbness of Novocain on my tongue.
The mist curled upward, seeking a breach, a weakness. It found none. The fingers of searching haze twisted upward and around, trying to find a way in, and in the process illustrating the astonishing size of the protective screen.
There were gasps on both sides of Benjamin’s gorge.
“Well done, Bella!” Benjamin cheered in a low voice.
My smile returned.
I could see Alec’s narrowed eyes, doubt on his face for the first time as his mist swirled harmlessly around the edges of my shield.
And then I knew that I could do this. Obviously, I would be the number-one priority, the first one to die, but as long as I held, we were on more than equal footing with the Volturi. We still had Benjamin and Zafrina; they had no supernatural help at all. As long as I held.

When they finally come to destroy the earth
They'll have to go through you first
I bet they won't be expecting that

When they finally come to destroy the earth
They'll have to deal with you first
And now my money says they won't know
About the thousand Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes

Invincible
You're invincible
That crushing, crashing, atom-smashing, white-hot thing
It's invincible

When they finally come, what'll you do to them?
Gonna decimate them like you did to me?
Will you leave them stunned and stuttering?
When they finally come, how will you handle them?
Will you devastate them deliberately?

'Cause I'm gonna guess they won't be prepared
For thousand Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes

Invincible
You're invincible
That crushing, crashing, atom-smashing, white-hot thing
It's invincible

So, please use your powers for good
You're invincible

It's a Disaster

Eclipse – Chapter 27
My hindsight seemed unbearably clear tonight. I could see every mistake I’d made, every bit of harm I’d done, the small things and the big things. Each pain I’d caused Jacob, each wound I’d given Edward, stacked up into neat piles that I could not ignore or deny.
And I realized that I’d been wrong all along about the magnets. It had not been Edward and Jacob that I’d been trying to force together, it was the two parts of myself, Edward’s Bella and Jacob’s Bella. But they could not exist together, and I never should have tried.
I’d done so much damage.

Patience is the hallmark of the old and the infirm
Lived and learned, lived and learned, lived and learned
Out lived theer lust and traded want in for concern
Singing that's all right
Yeah, that's all right
Aw, that's all right

So come on down, come on down, come on down (come on down)
Get out our pestilence and vice and pass them around
And blow this town, blow this town, blow this town
Jump off this ship before the shit just runs aground
Singin' that's all right
Aw, that's all right
Aw, that's all right

It's a disaster
It's an incredible mess
But it's all we've got now
Yeah, it's all we got
Howling with laughter, panic, alarm, and distress
But it's all we've got now
Yeah, it's all we got

Head or tails, heads or tails, heads or tails (heads or tails)
Are you dumb enough to break the mold or smart enough to fail?
Oh, happy trails, happy trails, oh, happy trails
Can't beat a little bit of envy in your sails

Singing that's all right
Yeah, that's all right
Oh, that's all right

But it's a disaster
It's an incredible mess
But it's all we've got now
Yeah, it's all we got
Howling with laughter, panic, alarm, and distress
But it's all we've got now
Yeah, it's all we got
