if I get the class,

you know, up and going again,

you know, maybe you could

drop by sometime

as, like, a guest speaker

or something.

Yeah. I don't know.

It's not really my thing.

Besides...

you know what they say:

"Those who can, do,

"and those who can't,

teach. "

But you already knew that.

Right.

I got to get going.

d I fell down

in the desert, baby d

d Yeah d

d I had nothing

but a piece of paper d

d Oh, yeah d

d I had to write

something down d

d And I found myself alone d

Hey, what's going on?

Well, well, well.

Good morning, sunshine.

Thinking there for a second we

weren't going to get you back

to the land

of the living, huh?

All right, listen up,

'cause I'm not going

to repeat this.

Here's how the game works.

You get a 15 minute head start.

If I were you, I'd try to find

a weapon of some type.

Definitely shelter,

though to be honest,

there ain't much

to work with down here.

Temperatures drop

way below freezing when the sun

goes down,

so you might want

to make a fire.

Downside of the fire is

it's real easy

for me to spot you

from the air with that.

d Then I let go

of everything d

d Into another dimension d

All right,

here's how this works.

You get

an eight-minute head start.

So I suggest

you get moving.

It's all right,

come on.

It's okay,

don't be scared.

Go ahead.

Oh, Lesher...

there's poison ivy

all over the place,

so watch it

with the short sleeves.

All right?

Ooh!

No, that's what

I'm talking about.

You're gonna get...

d Oh, yeah d

d Lightning crash

on the hill tonight d

d Yeah! d

d And I got a feeling

everything is gonna be d

d All right d

d Then a horse

came running to me d

Yay!

Congratulations,

honey, you win, you're fat.

Would you like

a big, fat medal?

Put it back.

d Then a storm began to blow d

Mazel tov.

d Into another dimension d

d Purple haze is in the sky d

d See the angel's wicked eye d

d All these things we must try d

d Till we see the reasons why d

d Oh, yeah d

d d

d I got lost

in the desert, baby d

d Yeah d

d I found temples

made out of paper d

d Oh, yeah d

d They were drumming

with golden bones d

d Building dreams up

out of their homes d

d Then I let go of everything d

d Into another dimension d

d Yeah d
