Bill's Corpse |
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 |
O' her ragged hair was shinin' red white 'n blue |
All '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 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 t' get together |
That’s not the kind uh thoughts I’d like t' keep |
The rain played lightly down down on the formaheap |
O' lady look up in time |
O' lady look out of love |
'n you should have us all |
O' you should have us fall |
