Bill’s Corpse – Captain Beefheart – letras

Quietly the rain played down on last of the ashesQuietly the light played down on her lashesShe smiled ‘n twisted she smiled ‘n twistedHideously looking back at what once was beautifulPlaying naturally magicallyO’ her ragged hair was shinin’ red white ‘n blueAll ‘n all the children screamin’Why surely madam you must be dreamin’You couldn’t have done this if you knew what you were doin’Well the gold fish ‘n the bowl lay upside down bloatin’Full in the sky ‘n the plains were bleached white with skeletonsVarious species grouped together accordingTo their past beliefsThe only way they ever all got together wasNot in love but shameful griefIt’s not the way I’d like it t’ get togetherThat’s not the kind uh thoughts I’d like t’ keepThe rain played lightly down down on the formaheapO’ lady look up in timeo’ lady look out of love’n you should have us allO’ you should have us fall
