His father and left him a little farm in New England All the long black funeral cars left the And the boy was just there alone Lookin' at the shiny red Him and his daddy used to sit And circle the fields and grease the night
It was as if someone had butter On all the fine of the stars 'Cause when he up, they started to slip he put his head in the crux of his arms
And he to drift, drift to the belly of a ship Let the slide open and he went inside of it And saw his 'hind the control boards Streamin' beads of He saw his daddy 'hind the control And he was very different he was not human, he was not human
The little boy's face lit up with a naked joy That the sun burned around his And his were like two suns White lids, white opals, everything a little bit too clearly
And he looked and was no black ship in sight No funeral cars, nothin' Except for him, the And on his knees and up and cried out
"No, Daddy, don't leave me here Take me up, Daddy, to the belly of ship Let the ship slide and I'll go inside of it you are not human, you are not human"
But nobody the boy's cry of alarm Nobody there for the birds Around the New farm And they in all directions Like they scattered
And were like compass grass Coming together into the of a shaman bouquet Slit in his nose and all the others went And he saw the lights of beckonin' him Like the hands of at his cheeks, takin' out his neck All his limbs, everything was and he said
I won't give up, won't give up, let me give up I give up, come here, let me go up fast Take me up quick, take me up, up to the of a ship" And the ship slides and I go inside of it I am not human
I am helium raven and this is mine So he out as he stretched the sky Pushin' it all out like latex Am I all in this generation? We'll just be dreamin' of night and day And let up, won't let up and I see them comin' in Oh, I hear them before, but I hear 'em now
It's a radar scope in all silver and all platinum Movin' in like black ships, they were movin' in, streams of And he put up his and he said, It's me, it's me give you my eyes, take me up, oh Lord, please take me up I'm helium, raven waitin' for you, take me up Don't me here"
The son, the sign, the Like the shape of a woman The shape of a tortured woman The mother standing in the doorway, her sons No longer presidents but They're all dreamin', they're gonna the prophet
He's run through the fields dreamin' in animation It's all split his skull It's gonna come out like a bouquet shinin' Like a fist that's gonna shoot up Like light, like Mohammed
them up up up up up up Oh, let's go up, up, don't me back me up, I'll go up, I'm goin' up, I'm goin' up Take me up, I'm up, I'll go up, tell Go up go up go up go up up up up up up up Up, up, to the of a ship Let the slide open and we'll go inside of it Well, we are not human, not human
Well, there was sand, were tiles The sun had the sand And it coagulated like a of glass it hardened, he looked at the surface He saw his and where there were eyes Were just two opals, two white opals
Where there were eyes, there were just two white He looked up and the shot And he saw raven in And he on his back and he went up Up up up up up up
