Rocket Man (火箭人) - Pearls Before Swine[00:00:00]
My father was a rocket man[00:00:11]
He often went to Jupiter or[00:00:17]
Mercury to Venus or to Mars[00:00:20]
My mother and I would watch the sky[00:00:24]
And wonder if a falling star[00:00:29]
Was a ship becoming[00:00:34]
Ashes with a rocket man inside[00:00:35]
My mother and I[00:00:43]
Never went out[00:00:46]
Unless the sky was cloudy[00:00:48]
Or the sun was blotted out[00:00:50]
Or to escape the pain[00:00:53]
We only went out when it rained[00:00:56]
My father was a rocket man[00:01:04]
He loved the world beyond the world [00:01:10]
The sky beyond the sky[00:01:12]
And on my mother's face [00:01:15]
As lonely as the world in space[00:01:17]
I could read the silent cry[00:01:21]
That if my father fell into a star[00:01:26]
We must not look upon that star again[00:01:32]
My mother and I[00:01:39]
Never went out[00:01:43]
Unless the sky was cloudy[00:01:44]
Or the sun was blotted out[00:01:47]
Or to escape the pain[00:01:50]
We only went out when it rained[00:01:53]
Tears are often jewel-like[00:02:01]
My mother's went unnoticed by my father [00:02:06]
For his jewels were the stars[00:02:10]
And in my father's eyes I knew he had to find[00:02:13]
In the sanctity of distance[00:02:18]
Something brighter than a star[00:02:21]
One day they told us the sun[00:02:24]
Had flared and taken him inside[00:02:27]
My mother and I[00:02:35]
Never went out[00:02:38]
Unless the sky was cloudy or[00:02:40]
The sun was blotted out[00:02:42]
Or to escape the pain[00:02:45]
We only went out when it rained[00:02:48]
