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 |
