His father died and left him a little 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 had spread butter On all the fine points of the 'Cause when he looked up, started to slip Then he put his 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' of light He saw his daddy the control board 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 around his lids And his eyes were like two lids, white opals, seein' everything Just a little bit too
And he looked and was no black ship in sight No funeral cars, nothin' Except for him, the 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 slide 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 Around the New farm And they gathered in all roses they scattered
And they like compass grass Coming together into the head of a shaman Slit in his nose and all the others shootin' And he saw the lights of traffic him Like the hands of Grabbin' at his cheeks, takin' out his All his limbs, everything was and he said
I won't give up, won't up, don't let me give up I won't give up, here, let me go up fast me up quick, take 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 raven and movie is mine So he out as he stretched the sky Pushin' it all out latex cartoon Am I all alone in generation? We'll just be of animation night and day And let up, won't let up and I see them comin' 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 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, waitin' for you, please take me up Don't me here"
The son, the sign, the the shape of a tortured woman The true shape of a woman The mother standing in the doorway, lettin' her No presidents but prophets They're all dreamin', they're gonna bear the
He's gonna run through the dreamin' in animation all gonna split his skull It's gonna out like a black bouquet shinin' Like a fist that's gonna them up Like light, Mohammed boxer

Well, was sand, there were tiles The sun had melted the And it like a river of glass When it hardened, he looked at the He saw his face and where were eyes Were two white opals, two white opals
Where there were eyes, there were just two white He looked up and the rays And he saw raven in And he crawled on his and he went up Up up up up up up
