The Killers (human)

object width="560" height="340">

I did my best to notice, When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender,I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous, When I see an open door
Close your eyes, Clear your heart...Cut the cord

Are we human?, Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees, Looking for the answer
Are we human?, Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue, Send my condolences to Good
Give my regards to soul and romance,They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion, You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye, Wish me well.., You've gotta let me go

Are we human?, Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees, Looking for the answer, Are we human?
Or are we dancer?, Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?, There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?, Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees, Looking for the answer

You've gotta let me know, Are we human?, Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees, Looking for the answer
Are we human, Or are we dancer?

Are we human?, Or are we dancer?
Are we human, Or are we dancer

'Languages to English', (tool for being used in S.L) made by Draceina Pinion

'Languages to English', is a tool very adequate to learn English in Second Life. The users can learn to translate sentences or words from some languages to English. Owners must add the data to the tool.

Example:
(Traduce una frase en Español al Inglés
(y escríbela en el cuadrado.
Soy una muchacha.
I am a girl.
Juego al tenis.
I play tennis.

When the tool is ready, with data added by the owner, users will be asked to translate some phrases or words to English. They must write the answer in a square and this tool will say if the answer is right or wrong. Furthermore, this tool helps users to complete answers by giving a clue.

This tool can be used to learn English by oneself. This can be used by plural accounts, too.

'Languages to English' needs just two prims to be used and it works with 2.0 version of Second Life.

You will find it at Dracy´s Virtual Shop
