[00:31.08] [00:37.71]All the long black funeral cars left the scene [00:41.17]And the boy was just standing there alone [00:43.69]Looking at the shiny red tractor [00:45.31] [00:45.99]Him and his daddy used to sit inside [00:47.98] [00:48.86]And circle the blue fields and grease the night. [00:51.91] [00:55.16]It was if someone had spread butter on all the fine points of the stars [00:59.00] [00:59.61]Cause when he looked up they started to slip. [01:02.06] [01:04.73]Then he put his head in the crux of his arm [01:09.50] [01:10.12]And he started to drift, drift to the belly of a ship, [01:22.90]Let the ship slide open, and he went inside of it [01:34.46]And saw his daddy 'hind the control board streamin' beads of light, [01:46.38]He saw his daddy 'hind the control board, [01:52.29] [01:52.92]And he was very different tonight [01:58.26]Cause he was not human, he was not human.

[04:00.90] [04:03.83]Nobody there 'cept for the birds around the new england farm [04:07.54]And they gathered in all directions, like roses they scattered [04:10.75]And they were like compass grass coming together [04:12.87]Into the head of a shaman bouquet [04:16.13]Slit in his nose and all the others went shooting [04:19.52]And he saw the lights of traffic beckoning like the hands of blake [04:22.86]Grabbing at his cheeks, taking out his neck, [04:25.62]All his limbs, everything was twisted and he said, [04:28.41]“i won't give up, won't give up, don't let me give up, [04:32.08]I won't give up, come here, let me go up fast, [04:35.66]Take me up quick, take me up, up to the belly of a ship [04:47.38] [04:48.04]And the ship slides open and I go inside of it where I am not human.” [05:06.09] [05:12.22]I am not human. [05:18.89] [05:23.28]I am helium raven and this movie is mine, [05:27.15] [05:27.69]So he cried out as he stretched the sky, [05:30.47]Pushing it all out like latex cartoon, am I all alone in this generation ?
