Waiting for October (Lyric) by wilco

Checking all the locks to make sure you’re alone. Making no mistakes; The ghosts are free to roam. Staring at the sun. Hoping you’ll go blind. Taking all their drugs; Hoping they don’t mind. Shattered safety glass won’t cut like red balloons. Ensuring less appeal and praying in your room. When she waits, she waits alone. Pretty purple pills Waiting for their scene Time to celebrate The flowers been washed clean. What’s the matter dear? She’s waiting in the hall. Eyes are open wide and waiting for the call. The ghosts are coming through Through broken veins they weave. Open wounds and wine; and now they’ll never leave. When she waits, she waits alone.

Ok, yeah, watch it and I'll vote.

Here's the info: The Red Balloon (1956)
about it:
"The late French filmmaker Albert Lamorisse made this classic, 1956 short work about a lonely little Parisian boy (Pascal Lamorisse) befriended by a large red balloon, which seems to have a will of its own. As with his preceding short, 1952's White Mane, Lamorisse took home a grand prize from the Cannes Film Festival for The Red Balloon, and the latter film also won an Academy Award. There have been some stimulating pieces of film criticism (some pro, some con) written about the aesthetics of this little movie over the years, but there's no question it makes for a touching, allegorical piece always certain to prompt conversations among viewers of any age." --Tom Keogh
