His father died and left him a farm in New England All the long black cars left the scene And the boy was standin' there alone at the shiny red tractor Him and his used to sit inside And circle the blue and grease the night
It was as if had spread butter On all the fine points of the 'Cause when he looked up, started to slip Then he put his head in the crux of his
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 control Streamin' of light He saw his 'hind the control board And he was very different 'Cause he was not human, he was not
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, opals, seein' everything a little bit too clearly
And he looked and There was no black ship in No black cars, nothin' Except for him, the And on his knees and Looked up and out
"No, Daddy, don't me here alone Take me up, Daddy, to the of your ship Let the ship slide 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 Around the New farm And gathered in all directions Like they scattered
And they were like compass Coming together into the head of a bouquet Slit in his and all the others went shootin' And he saw the lights of beckonin' 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, won't give up, let me give up I won't up, come here, let me go up fast me up quick, take me up, up to the belly of a ship" And the ship open and I go inside of it Where I am not
I am helium raven and movie is mine So he out as he stretched the sky Pushin' it all out like cartoon Am I all alone in generation? just be dreamin' of animation night and day And let up, won't let up and I see them comin' in Oh, I couldn't hear 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, 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 for you, please take me up Don't me here"
The son, the sign, the Like the of a tortured woman The shape of a tortured woman The mother standing in the doorway, her sons No presidents but prophets They're all dreamin', they're gonna bear the
He's gonna run through the fields dreamin' in It's all split his skull gonna come out like a black bouquet shinin' Like a fist that's gonna them up Like light, like Mohammed
Take up up up up up up Oh, let's go up, up, don't hold me me up, I'll go up, I'm goin' up, I'm goin' up Take me up, I'm up, I'll 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 slide and we'll go inside of it Well, we are not human, not human
Well, there was sand, were tiles The sun had melted the And it like a river of glass When it hardened, he at the surface He saw his face and there were eyes Were two white opals, two white opals
Where were eyes, there were just two white opals He up and the rays shot And he saw raven in And he on his back and he went up Up up up up up up
