and left him [00:28.66]A little farm in New England [00:29.84] [00:31.96]All the long black funeral cars [00:33.05]Left the scene [00:34.19]And the boy was [00:34.98]Just standing there alone [00:35.87] [00:37.42]Looking at the shiny red tractor [00:38.81] [00:40.10]Him and his daddy used to sit inside [00:43.21]And circle the blue fields [00:44.33]And grease the night [00:45.32] [00:49.25]It was if someone had spread butter [00:50.49]On all the fine points of the stars [00:52.15]Cause when he looked up [00:53.04]They started to slip [00:54.35] [00:55.91]Then he put his head [00:56.74]In the crux of his arm [00:57.96]And he started to drift [01:03.73]Drift to the belly of a ship [01:10.88] [01:11.55]Let the ship slide open [01:16.94]And he went inside of it [01:22.20]And saw his daddy [01:25.83]Hind the control board streamin [01:30.09] [01:30.99]Beads of light [01:33.34]He saw his daddy [01:36.93]Hind the control board [01:39.66]And was he very different tonight [01:44.77]Cause he was not human [01:52.02] [01:57.02]He was not human [02:03.87] [02:07.16]And then the little boy's face [02:09.69]Lit up with such naked joy [02:11.62] [02:12.26]That the sun burned around his lids [02:14.73]And his eyes were like two suns [02:16.44] [02:18.45]White lids white opals [02:20.32]Seeing everything [02:20.74]Just a little bit too clearly [02:22.28]And he looked around [02:23.09]And there was no black ship in sight [02:25.04] [02:25.81]No black funeral cars [02:26.83]Nothing except for him the raven [02:29.88]And fell on his knees [02:31.27]And looked up and cried out [02:33.71] [02:35.14]No daddy [02:39.31]Don't leave me here alone [02:44.66]Take me up daddy [02:49.29] [02:49.97]To the belly of your ship [02:55.25]Let the ship slide open [03:00.40]And I'll go

there cept for the birds [03:41.85]Around the New England farm [03:43.40]And they gathered in all directions [03:45.80]Like roses they scattered [03:47.84]And they were like compass grass [03:49.13]Coming together [03:50.33]Into the head of a shaman bouquet [03:53.09]Slit in his nose [03:56.24]And all the others went shooting [03:58.30]And he saw the lights of traffic beckoning [04:01.03]Like the hands of Blake [04:03.34]Grabbing at his cheeks [04:04.88]Taking out his neck [04:06.28]All his limbs [04:07.63]Everything was twisted and he said [04:09.92]I won't give up
