His father died and him a little farm in New England All the long black cars left the scene And the boy was standin' there alone Lookin' at the shiny red Him and his used to sit inside And circle the blue fields and the night
It was as if someone had butter On all the fine points of the 'Cause when he looked up, 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 slide open and he went inside of it And saw his 'hind the control boards Streamin' beads of He saw his 'hind the control board And he was very tonight he was not human, he was not human
The little boy's face lit up such a naked joy That the sun burned around his And his eyes were like two lids, white opals, seein' everything Just a bit too clearly
And he looked and was no black ship in sight No black funeral cars, for him, the raven And fell on his and up and cried out
"No, Daddy, don't leave me alone Take me up, Daddy, to the belly of your Let the ship open and I'll go inside of it you are not human, you are not human"
But nobody the boy's cry of alarm there 'cept for the birds Around the New farm And they in all directions Like roses they
And they were like compass Coming together into the head of a shaman in his nose and all the others went shootin' And he saw the lights of beckonin' him Like the hands of 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 give up, come here, let me go up Take me up quick, me up, up to the belly of a ship" And the ship open and I go inside of it I am not human
I am raven and this movie is mine So he cried out as he the sky it all out like latex cartoon Am I all in this generation? We'll just be dreamin' of animation and day And won't let up, let up and I see them comin' in Oh, I hear them before, but I hear 'em now
It's a radar in all silver and all platinum lights Movin' in black ships, they were movin' in, streams of them And he put up his hands and he said, 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 true shape of a woman The standing in the doorway, lettin' her sons No presidents but prophets They're all dreamin', they're gonna bear the
He's run through the fields dreamin' in animation It's all gonna his skull It's gonna come out like a black shinin' Like a fist gonna shoot them up Like light, like Mohammed
them up up up up up up Oh, let's go up, up, don't hold me Take me up, 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 slide open and we'll go inside of it Well, we are not human, we're not
Well, there was sand, there were The sun had the sand And it coagulated like a river of When it hardened, he looked at the He saw his face and where there were Were just two white opals, two opals
Where there were eyes, there were two white opals He looked up and the shot And he saw comin' in And he crawled on his back and he up Up up up up up up
