Sparklehorse – Hammering the Cramps Lyrics 16 years ago
It's seems to me Mark it's trying to coop with the fact that things are changing.
the reason he's asking "Can you fly?" is because things are changing, like vehicle = planes
This type of imagery is simply genius and is very hard to explain.
And the "hammering the cramps" is simply saying that he's trying to deal with the changes until some great god like figure appears, "captain Howdy", "we can't see him" "we can't see them"

see he adds Him and Them.....Him being the god like figure and Them being the angels he sends down.
I could be very much wrong, but this is just an idea.
Wasn't he doing Herion at the time?
