Captain Beefheart, His Magic Band - Bill's Corpse lyrics

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

Oh, lady look up in time, oh
Lady look out of love
And you should have us all, oh
You should have us fall
