Vanessa's POV:

I listen to Jeff as he struggles to write a song. I hear a soft melody coming from the studio and i'm in awe. Jeff installed another booth across the one he was in. I smile and we talk. Jeff looks at me with an idea in mind. We enter the booths and we're thinking about the time we had the WWE Avengers in the studio. Jeff leaves the studio and goes on the roof.

Jeff's POV: 

I'm on the roof and I hear a song.

Don't breathe too deep

Don't think all day

Dive into work

Drive the other way

That drip of hurt

That pint of shame

Goes away

Just play the game

You're living in America

At the end of the millennium

You're living in America

Leave your conscience at the tone

And when you're living in America

At the end of the millennium

You're what you own

The filmmaker cannot see

And songwriter cannot hear

Yet I see Amy everywhere

Dusty's voice is in my ear

Just tighten those shoulders

Just clench your jaw til you frown

Just don't let go

Or you may drown

You're living in America

At the end of the millennium

You're living in America

Where it's like the Twilight Zone

You're living in America

At the end of the millennium

You're what you own

So I own not a notion

I escape and ape content

I don't own emotion - I rent

What was it about that night

Connection - In an isolating age

For once the shadows gave way to light

For once I didn't disengage

Dusty- I hear you - I hear it

I see it - I see it

My film!

Amy I see you - I see it

I hear it - I hear it

My song!

Call me a hypocrite Amy

I need to finish Your eyes

We quit!

Dying in America

A the end of the millennium

We're dying in America

To come into our own

And when you're dying in America

At the end of the millennium

You're not alone

I'm not alone

We get off the roof with smiles on our faces.
