Bill’s Corpse Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

[Verse]
Quietly, the rain, played down on last of the ashes
Quietly, the light, played down on her lashes
She smiled and twisted, she smiled and twisted
Hideously looking back at what once was beautiful
Playing naturally magically
Oh, her ragged hair was shining, red, white and blue
All and all the children screaming
Why surely madam, you must be dreaming
You couldn't have done this if you knew what you were doin'
Well, the gold fish in the bowl lay upside down bloatin'
Full in the sky and the plains
Were bleached with white skeletons
Various species grouped together
According to their past beliefs
The only way they ever all got together
Was not in love but shameful grief
It's not the way I'd like it to get together
That's not the kind of thoughts I'd like to keep
The rain played lightly down, down on the form a heap

[Outro]
Oh, lady look up in time, oh, lady look out of love
And you should have us all, oh, you should have us fall
