His father died and left him a farm in New England All the black funeral cars left the scene And the boy was just standin' there Lookin' at the shiny red Him and his daddy to sit inside And circle the fields and grease the night
It was as if someone had butter On all the points of the stars 'Cause he looked up, they started to slip Then he put his head in the of his arms
And he started to drift, drift to the belly of a Let the ship slide and he went inside of it And saw his daddy the control 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 boy's face lit up with a naked joy That the sun around his lids And his eyes were two suns lids, white opals, seein' everything Just a bit too clearly
And he around and There was no black in sight No black funeral cars, Except for him, the And on his knees and Looked up and out
"No, Daddy, don't leave me here Take me up, Daddy, to the of your ship Let the ship slide open and go inside of it you are not human, you are not human"
But heard the boy's cry of alarm there 'cept for the birds Around the New England And they in all directions Like they scattered
And they were compass grass Coming together into the head of a bouquet in his nose and all the others went shootin' And he saw the lights of traffic 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, give up, don't 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 slides open and I go inside of it I am not human
I am helium and this movie is mine So he cried out as he the sky Pushin' it all out like cartoon 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 couldn't them before, but I hear 'em now
It's a scope in all silver and all platinum lights Movin' in like black ships, they were movin' in, 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 of a tortured woman The true of a tortured woman The mother in the doorway, lettin' her sons No longer presidents but They're all dreamin', they're gonna the prophet
He's gonna run through the fields dreamin' in It's all gonna his skull It's gonna out like a black bouquet shinin' Like a that's gonna shoot them up Like light, like Mohammed
Take up up up up up up Oh, let's go up, up, hold 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 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 were The sun had melted the And it coagulated like a river of it hardened, he looked at the surface He saw his and where there were eyes Were just two white opals, two opals
Where were eyes, there were just two white opals He looked up and the rays And he saw comin' in And he on his back and he went up Up up up up up up
