Bills Corpse lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Outro]

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

And you should have us all, oh, you should have us fall
