Beatle Bones And Smokin' Stones

Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band

Compositor: Don Van Vliet

Beatle bones and smokin' stones
The dry sands fall
The strawberry mouth; strawberry moth; strawberry caterpillar
Strawberry butterfly; strawberry fields
The winged eel slither on the heels of today's children
Strawberry feels forever

Yeah, roosters, ol' glass roosters, stick to your race
In a drag-queen, live-wood farmhouse
Tractors are clawin'; the folks are crawlin'
Trees in a row climbing a coach and i blow rich
Red, blue, yellow sunset
Where i set and you set; and i've loved and you've loved
And i've seen and you've seen

Salt man has just made his mark - and crumbled
The dark - the light - the dark - the day
Porcelain children see through white lights
Soft-cracker bats, cheshire cats named
The dark - the light - the dark - the day

Blue veins through gray-felt tomorrows
Cellular sail-boat - ye ole feathered kind
Blow it into a pond swayin' in circles
Red, blue, yellow sunset.
Where i've set and you've set; and i've loved and you've loved
What i saw and you saw
Strawberry feels forever
