Bills Corpse Lyrics - Trout Mask Replica - Captain Beefheart

Quietly the rain played down on last of the ashes 

Quietly the light played down on her lashes 

She smiled 'n twisted, she smiled 'n twisted 

Hideously looking back at what once was beautiful 

Playing naturally magically 

Oh, her ragged hair was shinin' red white and blue 

All-and-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 goldfish in the bowl lay upside-down bloatin' 

Full in the sky in 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 formaheap 

Oh, lady look up in time, oh, lady look out of love 

And you should have us all 

Oh, you should have us fall
