Lime and limpid green, a second scene, a fight between the blue you once knew. Floating down, the sound resounds around the icy waters underground.	a
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania. Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten.	b
Blinding signs flap, Flicker, flicker, flicker blam. Pow, pow. Stairway scare Dan dare who's there?	c
Lime and limpid green, the sounds surronds the icy waters under Lime and limpid green, the sounds surrounds the icy waters underground.	d
