His father died and left him a farm in New England All the long black funeral cars the scene And the boy was standin' there alone at the shiny red tractor Him and his daddy used to sit And circle the blue fields and the night
It was as if had spread butter On all the fine points of the when he looked up, they started to slip Then he put his head in the of his arms
And he started to drift, to the belly of a ship Let the ship slide open and he went of it And saw his daddy 'hind the boards Streamin' of light He saw his daddy 'hind the control And he was different tonight he was not human, he was not human
The little face lit up with such a naked joy That the sun around his lids And his were like two suns lids, white opals, seein' everything Just a little bit too
And he looked and There was no black ship in No black cars, nothin' Except for him, the And on his knees and up and cried out
"No, Daddy, don't leave me here me up, Daddy, to the belly of your ship Let the ship slide open and I'll go of it you are not human, you are not human"
But nobody heard the boy's cry of Nobody 'cept for the birds Around the New farm And they in all directions Like roses they
And were like compass grass Coming together into the head of a shaman Slit in his nose and all the others shootin' And he saw the lights of traffic him Like the of blake Grabbin' at his cheeks, takin' out his All his limbs, was twisted and he said
I won't give up, won't give up, let me give up I won't up, come here, let me go up fast Take me up quick, me up, up to the belly of a ship" And the ship slides and I go inside of it I am not human
I am raven and this movie is mine So he out as he stretched the sky Pushin' it all out like latex Am I all alone in this We'll just be dreamin' of animation and day And won't let up, won't let up and I see them in Oh, I hear them before, but I hear 'em now
It's a radar in all silver and all platinum lights 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 I'll give you my eyes, me up, oh Lord, please take me up I'm helium, raven waitin' for you, please me up Don't me here"
The son, the sign, the the shape of a tortured woman The true of a tortured woman The mother standing in the doorway, her sons No longer but prophets They're all dreamin', they're gonna the prophet
He's gonna run the fields dreamin' in animation It's all gonna his skull It's gonna come out like a black bouquet Like a fist that's gonna shoot up light, like Mohammed boxer
Take up up up up up up Oh, go up, up, don't hold me back me up, I'll go up, I'm goin' up, I'm goin' up Take me up, I'm goin' up, 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 ship open and we'll go inside of it Well, we are not human, not human
Well, there was sand, there tiles The sun had melted the And it coagulated a river of glass it hardened, he looked at the surface He saw his face and where were eyes just two white opals, two white opals
Where there eyes, there were just two white opals He looked up and the rays And he saw comin' in And he crawled on his back and he up Up up up up up up
