and here is the song Carry the Zero, also performed before the show outside.

and the lyrics for lyric-likers:

Car
You get the car
I'll get the night off
You'll get the chance to take the world apart and figure out how it works
Don't let me know what you find out
I need a car
You need a guide
Who needs a map
If I don't die or worse I'm gonna need a nap
At best I'll be asleep when you get back
I wanna see it when you find out what comets, stars, and moons are all about
I wanna see their faces turn to backs of heads and slowly get smaller
I wanna see it now

I want specifics on the general idea
I wanna think what I should know
Want you to do me what to show
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I wanna see it when you get stoned on a cloudy breezy desert afternoon
I wanna see it untame itself and break its owner
I wanna see it now
I wanna see it now


Carry the Zero
I'm not knocking your want
to carry that home

took it with you
when you moved and got it broke

found the pieces
we counted them all alone

didn't add up
forgot to carry a zero

I can't be your
apologist very long

I'm surprised that
you'd want to carry that on

count your blemishes
you can't
they're all gone

I can't see your response
putting them back on

like they're waiting for your guard to fall
so they can see it all and you're so
occupied with what other persons are
occupied with
and vice versa

and you've become
what you thought was dumb
a fraction of the sum

yeah, you've become
yeah, you have become

a fraction of the sum
the middle and the front

and now it's coming back
hasn't it come too far?

I was trying to help but I guess
I pushed too hard

now we can't even touch it
afraid it'll fall apart
