Lay down beside me You beautiful dreamer
Of sweet things The planet's going round
And you're around me You surround me
We hustle through the day Big long days
We rustle through the paper Pushing maze
You tossle in your sleep Sweet sweet sleep
The sun's sitting on me And I'm basking
For an hour or two The planet's going round
And you're around me You surround me
We hustle through the days Long hot days
We rustle through the paper Pushing maze
We stumble onto streets Cold long streets
In sweet sweet sleep

8. The song playing as the team mourns at the end is "GREEN STARS" by Microbunny by Allan Okada, Tamara Williamson (vocal) [2:05](thanks to PsiGen for finding this one):

You came walking through the door
Just as if you’d left it open
I was busy trying to ignore
The tell-tale signs of missing
Of missing you
And I’ll find time to look over everything
And I’ll find time to get over everything
There’s a photo I found warping
Two sunburnt faces look out smiling
I’m much taller in real life
The camera angle only seeing one side
And I’ll find time to look over everything
And I’ll find time to get over everything
And I’ll find time to look over everything
And I’ll find time
