[00:01.79] .
[00:04.45] .
[00:06.19] .
[00:29.50] They're in the front seat,
[00:32.43] he's got the radio low
[00:36.43] And the moon hangs over idlewild
[00:39.93] as the planes touch down
[00:42.75] He is talking but she's not listening
[00:49.25] She is thinking of her father,
[00:52.88] who died when she was young
[00:56.56] .
[01:01.81] I'm in the back seat,
[01:05.00] they think I'm sleeping
[01:08.52] But I am listening for the cracks
[01:12.08] between their voices in the dark
[01:15.08] We are a family, we are a shipwreck
[01:21.96] And we're picking up my grandma
[01:25.14] who is getting very old
[01:30.58] .
[01:34.71] And they think she's dying
[01:37.89] But I think she's laughing
[01:41.39] I think she's riding Halley's
[01:44.64] Comet from fort Lauderdale to here
[01:48.71] But when I see her
[01:51.51] I'll keep her secret
[01:56.21] We all have our secrets
[01:58.96] that we keep inside ourselves
[02:03.71] .
[02:18.35] They built this airport but in a few years
[02:26.04] They'll name it after Kennedy, the one who died today
[02:31.85] And he will leave her, and she will suffer
[02:38.35] And they will never really know each other at all
[02:48.60] .
[02:51.41] They think we're driving
[02:54.65] But I know we're drifting
[02:58.16] They think we're off on some adventure
[03:02.04] where the hero saves the day
[03:04.98] We think we're special
[03:08.22] We think we're golden
[03:11.60] We think we're walking on the moon
[03:15.78] but we are dancing in the dark
[03:18.97] .
[03:22.54]
[03:34.85] We shoot our rockets,
[03:38.16] we shoot our presidents
[03:41.60] We shoot the commies
[03:43.97] and the niggers and the Vietcong
[03:48.16] Everything changes,
[03:51.48] everything stays the same
[03:55.47] And the moon hangs over idlewild
[03:59.22] as the planes touch down…
