His father died and left him a little in New England All the long black cars left the scene And the boy was just there alone Lookin' at the shiny red Him and his daddy to sit inside And the blue fields and grease 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, to the belly of a ship Let the ship open and he went inside of it And saw his daddy 'hind the control Streamin' of light He saw his 'hind the control board And he was different tonight 'Cause he was not human, he was not
The little boy's face lit up with a naked joy That the sun burned his lids And his eyes were like two lids, white opals, seein' everything Just a bit too clearly
And he around and There was no black ship in No funeral cars, nothin' for him, the raven And fell on his and Looked up and out
"No, Daddy, leave me here alone me up, Daddy, to the belly of your ship Let the slide open and I'll go inside of it you are not human, you are not human"
But nobody heard the boy's cry of Nobody 'cept for the birds Around the New farm And they gathered in all Like they scattered
And they were like compass Coming together the head of a shaman bouquet Slit in his nose and all the others shootin' And he saw the lights of beckonin' 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 give up, don't let me up I give up, come here, let me go up fast Take me up quick, take me up, up to the of a ship" And the ship slides open and I go 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 this We'll just be dreamin' of night and day And let up, won't 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 like black ships, they were movin' in, streams of 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, please me up leave me here"
The son, the sign, the Like the shape of a woman The true shape of a tortured The mother standing in the doorway, her sons No longer but prophets They're all dreamin', they're gonna the prophet
He's gonna run the fields dreamin' in animation It's all gonna his skull It's gonna come out like a black shinin' Like a that's gonna shoot them up light, like Mohammed boxer

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 there were eyes Were just two opals, two white opals
Where there were eyes, 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
