His father died and left him a little farm in New All the long black funeral cars left the And the boy was standin' there alone at the shiny red tractor Him and his daddy to sit inside And circle the blue fields and the night
It was as if had spread 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 started to drift, drift to the of a ship Let the ship open and he went inside of it And saw his daddy 'hind the 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 boy's face lit up with such a naked joy That the sun burned his lids And his eyes were two suns White lids, white opals, seein' Just a bit too clearly
And he around 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 alone Take me up, Daddy, to the of your ship Let the ship open and I'll go inside of it you are not human, you are not human"
But nobody heard the cry of alarm Nobody 'cept for the birds the New England farm And gathered in all directions Like roses scattered
And they like compass grass Coming together the head of a shaman bouquet in his nose and all the others went shootin' And he saw the lights of traffic him Like the of blake at his cheeks, takin' out his neck All his limbs, was twisted and he said
I won't give up, give up, don't let me give up I won't up, come here, let me go up fast Take me up quick, take me up, up to the of a ship" And the slides open and I go inside of it Where I am not
I am raven and this movie is mine So he out as he stretched the sky it all out like latex cartoon Am I all in this generation? We'll just be of animation night and day And won't let up, let up and I see them comin' in Oh, I couldn't them before, but I hear 'em now
It's a radar scope in all silver and all lights Movin' in like black ships, were movin' in, streams of them And he put up his hands and he said, me, it's me I'll give you my eyes, take me up, oh Lord, take me up I'm helium, raven waitin' for you, please me up leave me here"
The son, the sign, the Like the of a tortured woman The true of a tortured woman The mother in the doorway, lettin' her sons No longer but prophets They're all dreamin', they're gonna the prophet
He's run through 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 them up Like light, like boxer
Take up up up up up up Oh, let's go up, up, don't me back Take me up, I'll go up, I'm up, I'm goin' up Take me up, I'm goin' up, I'll go up, Go up go up go up go up up up up up up up Up, up, to the belly of a Let the slide open and we'll go inside of it Well, we are not human, we're not
Well, was sand, there were tiles The sun had the sand And it coagulated like a river of When it hardened, he looked at the He saw his face and there were eyes Were just two white opals, two opals
Where there were eyes, there were just two white He looked up and the shot And he saw comin' in And he crawled on his and he went up Up up up up up up
