His father died and left him a farm in New England All the long black funeral left the scene And the boy was just there alone Lookin' at the red tractor Him and his daddy to sit inside And circle the fields and grease the night
It was as if someone had spread On all the points of the stars when he looked up, they started to slip Then he put his head in the 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 beads of light He saw his daddy 'hind the control 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 around his lids And his eyes like two suns White lids, opals, seein' everything Just a bit too clearly
And he looked and There was no black ship in No black funeral cars, for him, the raven And fell on his and Looked up and out
"No, Daddy, leave me here alone Take me up, Daddy, to the belly of 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 there for the birds the New England farm And they gathered in all roses they scattered
And they like compass grass Coming together into the of a shaman bouquet Slit in his nose and all the went shootin' And he saw the of traffic beckonin' him the hands of blake Grabbin' at his cheeks, takin' out his All his limbs, everything was and he said
I won't give up, won't give up, let me give up I won't give up, 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 Where I am not
I am helium raven and this is mine So he cried out as he the sky Pushin' it all out like latex Am I all in this generation? We'll just be of animation night and day And won't let up, won't let up and I see comin' in Oh, I couldn't hear 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 hands and he said, It's me, me I'll give you my eyes, take me up, oh Lord, please me up I'm helium, raven for you, please take me up Don't me here"
The son, the sign, the Like the of a tortured woman The true shape of a woman The mother standing in the doorway, lettin' her No longer presidents but all dreamin', they're gonna bear the prophet
He's gonna run through the fields dreamin' in all gonna split his skull It's gonna come out like a bouquet shinin' Like a fist gonna shoot them up Like light, like boxer
them up up up up up up Oh, let's go up, up, hold me back me up, I'll go up, I'm goin' 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 ship slide open and we'll go 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 When it hardened, he at the surface He saw his face and where there were Were two white opals, two white opals
Where there were eyes, there were just two opals He up and the rays shot And he saw raven in And he crawled on his and he went up Up up up up up up
