Petrified Forest Lyrics - Sun Zoom Spark: 1970-1972 - Captain Beefheart

Human bark 

Beautyless hide from beauty 

Bow your eyes 'n heads to the duty of the dead's 

Suck the ground 

Breathe life into the dead dinosaurs 

Let the past demons rear up 'n belch fire in the air of now 

The rug's wearing out that we walk on 

Soon it will fray 'n we'll drop 

Dead into yesterday 

Must the breathing pay for those who breathe in 'n don't 

Breathe out 

There'd be no gain, brothers, if no one would play 

'N for your games count me n' all that can see, 

Breathe in 'n out hungry today 'n eat hearty tomorrow 

Or eat away 'n be eaten some day 

No seed shall sow in salt water 

If the dinosaur cries with blood in his eyes 

In the dinosaur cries with blood in his eyes 

'N eats our babies for our lies 

Belches fire in our skies 

Maybe I'll die but he'll be rumbling through 

Your petrified forest
