[00:00.00]	作词 : Kaye, Kral, Smith, Sohl
[00:27.20]	His father died and left him a little farm in New England.
[00:33.43]	All the long black funeral cars left the scene
[00:35.99]	And the boy was just standing there alone
[00:38.97]	Looking at the shiny red tractor
[00:41.92]	Him and his daddy used to sit inside
[00:45.06]	And circle the blue fields and grease the night.
[00:50.70]	It was if someone had spread butter on all the fine points of the stars
[00:53.74]	'Cause when he looked up they started to slip.
[00:57.62]	Then he put his head in the crux of his arm
[00:59.73]	And he started to drift, drift to the belly of a ship,
[01:12.89]	Let the ship slide open, and he went inside of it
[01:23.49]	And saw his daddy 'hind the control board streamin' beads of light,
[01:33.35]	He saw his daddy 'hind the control board,
[01:40.97]	And he was very different tonight
[01:45.97]	'Cause he was not human, he was not human.
[02:09.70]	And then the little boy's face lit up with such naked joy
[02:13.41]	That the sun burned around his lids and his eyes were like two suns,
[02:19.48]	White lids, white opals, seeing everything just a little bit too clearly
[02:22.78]	And he looked around and there was no black ship in sight,
[02:26.77]	No black funeral cars, nothing except for him the raven
[02:30.90]	And fell on his knees and looked up and cried out,
[02:36.03]	"No, daddy, don't leave me here alone,
[02:45.62]	Take me up, daddy, to the belly of your ship,
[02:56.16]	Let the ship slide open and I'll go inside of it
[03:06.43]	Where you're not human, you are not human."
[03:28.91]	But nobody heard the boy's cry of alarm.
[03:39.37]	Nobody there 'cept for the birds around the New England farm
[03:44.20]	And they gathered in all directions, like roses they scattered
[03:48.44]	And they were like compass grass coming together
[03:51.04]	Into the head of a shaman bouquet
[03:53.78]	Slit in his nose and all the others went shooting
[03:58.93]	And he saw the lights of traffic beckoning like the hands of Blake
[04:03.03]	Grabbing at his cheeks, taking out his neck,
[04:06.84]	All his limbs, everything was twisted and he said,
[04:10.64]	"I won't give up, won't give up, don't let me give up,
[04:14.34]	I won't give up, come here, let me go up fast,
[04:18.04]	Take me up quick, take me up, up to the belly of a ship
[04:29.22]	And the ship slides open and I go inside of it where I am not human."
[04:49.96]	I am helium raven and this movie is mine,
[04:54.00]	So he cried out as he stretched the sky,
[04:57.70]	Pushing it all out like latex cartoon, am I all alone in this generation ?
[05:03.28]	We'll just be dreaming of animation night and day
[05:08.05]	And won't let up, won't let up and I see them coming in,
[05:12.54]	Oh, I couldn't hear them before, but I hear 'em now,
[05:15.84]	It's a radar scope in all silver and all platinum lights
[05:22.13]	Moving in like black ships, they were moving in, streams of them,
[05:26.11]	And he put up his hands and he said, "It's me, it's me,
[05:30.31]	I'll give you my eyes, take me up, oh now please take me up,
[05:35.86]	I'm helium raven waitin' for you, please take me up,
[05:41.46]	Don't let me here," the son, the sign, the cross,
[05:45.60]	Like the shape of a tortured woman,
[05:48.15]	The true shape of a tortured woman,
[05:51.43]	The mother standing in the doorway letting her sons
[05:54.19]	No longer presidents but prophets
[05:57.43]	They're all dreaming they're gonna bear the prophet,
[06:00.72]	He's gonna run through the fields dreaming in animation
[06:04.02]	It's all gonna split his skull
[06:05.86]	It's gonna come out like a black bouquet shining
[06:08.46]	Like a fist that's gonna shoot them up
[06:10.31]	Like light, like Mohammed Boxer
[06:12.51]	Take them up up up up up up
[06:15.65]	Oh, let's go up, up, take me up, I'll go up,
[06:18.26]	I'm going up, I'm going up
[06:20.60]	Take me up, I'm going up, I'll go up there
[06:22.40]	Go up go up go up go up up up up up up up
[06:27.94]	Up, up to the belly of a ship.
[06:34.43]	Let the ship slide open and we'll go inside of it
[06:44.68]	Where we are not human, we're not human.
[07:12.11]	Well, there was sand, there were tiles,
[07:17.55]	The sun had melted the sand and it coagulated
[07:21.21]	Like a river of glass
[07:26.18]	When it hardened he looked at the surface
[07:29.79]	He saw his face
[07:31.43]	And where there were eyes were just two white opals,
[07:34.96]	Two white opals,
[07:36.47]	Where there were eyes there were just two white opals
[07:39.42]	And he looked up and the rays shot
[07:42.11]	And he saw raven comin' in
[07:50.65]	And he crawled on his back and he went up
[07:57.20]	Up up up up up up
[08:07.03]	Sha da do wop, da shaman do way,
[08:17.69]	Sha da do wop, da shaman do way,
[08:28.42]	Sha da do wop, da shaman do way,
[08:38.95]	Sha da do wop, da shaman do way,
[08:49.78]	Sha da do wop, da shaman do way,
