I once saw a movie about the end of the world...
It was twelve seconds long and it didn't have a plot...
It just happens.
And that's why it's in black and white...
The characters don't talk or move around...
They just stare up at the sky... frozen.
The light... the light is numb... the light is off.
The light is just a thumbnail sketch of God.
God...
Somewhere, someone is crying...
The camera sweeps over a desolate street...
Holding on a mother and her child...
The kid is calm and she is shaking...
The camera passes into the sun...
And we come at last to be undone...
Panicking, she tries to run...
The kid is calm.
The kid is calm.
Then the credits role...
and every name is my name.
and every name is my name.
and every name is my name.
wake up sunshine, it's time to go...
it's time to go...
It was twelve seconds long and it didn't have a plot...
It just happens.
And that's why it's in black and white...
The characters don't talk or move around...
They just stare up at the sky... frozen.
The light... the light is numb... the light is off.
The light is just a thumbnail sketch of God.
God...
Somewhere, someone is crying...
The camera sweeps over a desolate street...
Holding on a mother and her child...
The kid is calm and she is shaking...
The camera passes into the sun...
And we come at last to be undone...
Panicking, she tries to run...
The kid is calm.
The kid is calm.
Then the credits role...
and every name is my name.
and every name is my name.
and every name is my name.
wake up sunshine, it's time to go...
it's time to go...
