[00:25.05]His father died and left him a little farm in New England
[00:31.23]All the long black funeral cars left the scene
[00:33.88]And the boy was just standin' there alone
[00:36.72]Lookin' at the shiny red tractor
[00:39.57]Him and his daddy used to sit inside
[00:42.59]And circle the blue fields and grease the night
[00:48.39]It was as if someone had spread butter
[00:49.92]On all the fine points of the stars
[00:51.45]'Cause when he looked up, they started to slip
[00:55.22]Then he put his head in the crux of his arms
[00:57.42]And he started to drift, drift to the belly of a ship
[01:10.81]Let the ship slide open and he went inside of it
[01:21.39]And saw his daddy 'hind the control boards
[01:28.64]Streamin' beads of light
[01:32.48]He saw his daddy 'hind the control board
[01:38.71]And he was very different tonight
[01:43.75]'Cause he was not human, he was not human
[02:07.26]The little boy's face lit up with such a naked joy
[02:11.21]That the sun burned around his lids
[02:13.71]And his eyes were like two suns
[02:17.25]White lids, white opals, seein'
[02:19.65]Everything iust a little bit too clearly
[02:21.57]And he looked around and there was no black ship in sight
[02:25.06]No black funeral cars, nothin' except for him, the raven
[02:29.15]And fell on his knees and
[02:30.49]Looked up and cried out
[02:34.75]"No, Daddy, don't leave me here alone
[02:43.88]Take me up, Daddy, to the belly of your ship
[02:54.43]Let the ship slide open and I'll go inside of it
[03:04.75]Where you are not human, you are not human"
[03:26.48]But nobody heard the boy's cry of alarm
[03:37.56]Nobody there 'cept for the birds
[03:40.82]Around the New England farm
[03:42.47]And they gathered in all directions
[03:44.66]Like roses they scattered
[03:46.67]And they were like compass grass
[03:48.28]Coming together into the head of a shaman bouquet
[03:54.21]Slit in his nose and all the others went shootin'
[03:57.51]And he saw the lights of traffic beckonin' him
[04:00.80]Like the hands of blake
[04:02.55]Grabbin' at his cheeks, takin' out his neck
[04:05.40]All his limbs, everything was twisted and he said
[04:08.91]I won't give up, won't give up, don't let me give up
[04:13.13]I won't give up, come here, let me go up fast
[04:16.73]Take me up quick, take me up, up to the belly of a ship"
[04:27.77]And the ship slides open and I go inside of it
[04:37.70]Where I am not human
[04:48.44]I am helium raven and this movie is mine
[04:52.54]So he cried out as he stretched the sky
[04:55.98]Pushin' it all out like latex cartoon
[04:59.03]Am I all alone in this generation?
[05:01.79]We'll just be dreamin' of animation night and day
[05:06.57]And won't let up, won't let up and I see them comin' in
[05:11.06]Oh, I couldn't hear them before, but I hear 'em now
[05:14.30]It's a radar scope in all silver and all platinum lights
[05:20.60]Movin' in like black ships, they were movin' in, streams of them
[05:24.58]And he put up his hands and he said, it's me, it's me
[05:28.76]I'll give you my eyes, take me up, oh Lord, please take me up
[05:34.35]I'm helium, raven waitin' for you, please take me up
[05:39.94]Don't leave me here"
[05:41.35]The son, the sign, the cross
[05:44.03]Like the shape of a tortured woman
[05:46.59]The true shape of a tortured woman
[05:49.29]The mother standing in the doorway, lettin' her sons
[05:52.44]No longer presidents but prophets
[05:55.28]They're all dreamin', they're gonna bear the prophet
[05:57.77]He's gonna run through the fields dreamin' in animation
[06:01.02]It's all gonna split his skull
[06:02.62]It's gonna come out like a black bouquet shinin'
[06:05.30]Like a fist that's gonna shoot them up
[06:07.51]Like light, like Mohammed boxer
[06:09.45]Take them up up up up up up
[06:11.90]Oh, let's go up, up, don't hold me back
[06:14.55]Take me up, I'll go up, I'm goin' up, I'm goin' up
[06:17.45]Take me up, I'm goin' up, I'll go up, tell
[06:19.55]Go up go up go up go up up up up up up up
[06:24.79]Up, up, to the belly of a ship
[06:31.22]Let the ship slide open and we'll go inside of it
[06:41.39]Well, we are not human, we're not human
[07:09.15]Well, there was sand, there were tiles
[07:14.19]The sun had melted the sand
[07:16.88]And it coagulated like a river of glass
[07:22.71]When it hardened, he looked at the surface
[07:26.30]He saw his face and where there were eyes
[07:29.39]Were just two white opals, two white opals
[07:32.89]Where there were eyes, there were just two white opals
[07:35.89]He looked up and the rays shot
[07:38.62]And he saw raven comin' in
[07:47.13]And he crawled on his back and he went up
[07:53.63]Up up up up up up
[08:03.54]Sha da do wop, da sha da do way
[08:14.11]Sha da do wop, da sha da do way
[08:24.98]Sha da do wop, da sha da do way
[08:35.51]Sha da do wop, da sha da do way
[08:46.34]Shaman do wop, da shaman do way
[08:55.71]We like birdland
