Bills Corpse Lyrics

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
