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
Oh, her ragged hair was shinin' red white and blue
All-and-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 goldfish in the bowl lay upside-down bloatin'
Full in the sky in 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 formaheap
Oh, lady look up in time, oh, lady look out of love
And you should have us all
Oh, you should have us fall
