Yes the part of the song about the cornucopia and golden crown is almost certainly about a plant - or at least it is an allegory referencing the relationship between a bird and a plant. Flowering plants are dependent on birds like hummingbirds and perhaps meadowlarks to reproduce. A flower does hold a cornucopia of nectar which attracts birds. When they put their head in the flower to get their nectar they get a 'golden crown' of pollen on their head that they pass to the next plant when they fly somewhere else. Actually cornucopia is a particularly good word...

When they put their head in the flower to get their nectar they get a 'golden crown' of pollen on their head that they pass to the next plant when they fly somewhere else. Actually cornucopia is a particularly good word to use, because the flower is horn-shaped (cornucopia = horn of plenty, literally). Possibly the next verse (I think just let me die is correct) then makes good sense too - because after a time the flower dies. However if the humming bird has given it their 'best try' then the plant will reproduce and seeds will be produced. It's perhaps sad that the flower dies but the cycle of nature keeps on going - a theme thoughout the album.
Some of the things that the song evokes for Goldjester are understandable in this context, and all the later lyrics about boys and girl(s) later make some sense.
Maybe the song is from the perspective of nature itself?
Is this song from a flower's or plant's perspective?

A great song I think.
