| 00:03:18 |
|
YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LIFE AS MAGNIFICENT DESOLATION, HOW SO? |
| 00:03:34 |

BECAUSE IT'S THE WORDS THAT CAME TO ME, AND THAN THE WORDS BEAUTIFUL, IT WAS REALLY NOT BEAUTIFUL... |
| 00:05:31 |
|
AS WE LOOK AT THESE VERY GRAINY PICTURES AND ONE SATELLITE THAT COULD TRANSFER THOSE PICTURES BACK... |
| 00:05:52 |
