Okay, I've been fiddling with this thing all morning and I've made no headway. I have a couple of instances faded gradient text in the background of this page. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to prevent the top and bottom of the text from being chopped off, without also displacing the surrounding text. Can anyone take a look at it for me?

For bonus points, I'd love to set it up so the gradient stops at the right edge of the display area, instead of following the obscured text. Best I've come up with is background-attachment:fixed, but that causes its own problems.
