Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band

Petrified Forest
Human bark Beautyless hide from beauty Bow your eyes 'n heads to the duty of the dead sucked to the ground Breathe life into the dead dinosaurs Let the past demons rear up their heads 'n belch fire into the air of now The rug's wearing out that we walk on Soon it will fray and we'll drop dead into yesterday Must the breathing pay for those who breathe in 'n don't breathe out? There'd be no gain, brother, if no one would play 'n as for your games count me 'n all that can see, Breathe in 'n out hungry today 'n eat hearty tomorrow Or eat away 'n be eaten someday No flower shall grow where oil shall flow. No seed shall sow in salt water. If the dinosaur cries with blood in his eyes 'n eats our babies for our lies Belches fire in our skies Maybe I'll die but he'll be rumblin' through Your petrified forest...
