I love the way this song eschews grammar, apparently to create a sort of sound-sculpture that appears to still convey some kind of real meaning.
When someone tries to claim that you can't have real poetry that doesn't rhyme (and I will agree with them that it must have more aesthetic value than prose), this is the first example I think of. It's beautiful, but there's little or no attempt to rhyme.
