His father died and left him a farm in New England All the black funeral cars left the scene And the boy was just there alone at the shiny red tractor 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 when he looked up, they to slip he put his head in the crux 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 daddy 'hind the boards Streamin' beads of He saw his 'hind the control board And he was very different 'Cause he was not human, he was not
The little boy's lit up with such a naked joy That the sun around his lids And his eyes were two suns White lids, white opals, seein' Just a little bit too
And he around and was no black ship in sight No black cars, nothin' Except for him, the And on his knees and Looked up and out
"No, Daddy, don't leave me here me up, Daddy, to the belly of your ship Let the ship slide open and go inside of it you are not human, you are not human"
But nobody heard the cry of alarm there 'cept for the birds Around the New England And gathered in all directions Like roses they
And they were like grass Coming together into the head of a shaman Slit in his nose and all the went shootin' And he saw the lights of traffic him Like the of blake Grabbin' at his cheeks, takin' out his All his limbs, was twisted and he said
I won't give up, won't 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 ship open and I go inside of it I am not human
I am raven and this movie is mine So he out as he stretched the sky Pushin' it all out like cartoon Am I all in this generation? 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 hear them before, but I hear 'em now
It's a radar in all silver and all platinum lights Movin' in black ships, they were movin' in, streams of them And he put up his hands and he said, It's me, me I'll give you my eyes, take me up, oh Lord, take me up I'm helium, raven waitin' for you, take me up leave me here"
The son, the sign, the Like the shape of a tortured The true of a tortured woman The mother standing in the doorway, her sons No longer presidents but They're all dreamin', gonna bear the prophet
He's gonna run through the fields dreamin' in It's all gonna his skull It's gonna come out like a bouquet shinin' Like a fist that's gonna shoot up Like light, like Mohammed
them 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, go up, tell Go up go up go up go up up up up up up up Up, up, to the belly of a 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 the sand And it coagulated like a of glass it hardened, he looked at the surface He saw his face and where there eyes Were just two opals, two white opals
there were eyes, there were just two white opals He looked up and the shot And he saw comin' in And he on his back and he went up Up up up up up up
