Captain Beefheart - The Witch Doctor Life Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • When the Witch Doctor Life
  • throws his silent bones
  • some are crowned kings
  • while others lose their thrones
  • When the Witch Doctor Life
  • throws his silent bones
  • small 'O' mouths scream
  • and run to Mama Kangaroo
  • insecure pouches wherein hide
  • beggars and drones
  • and babies and bums and buzzards
  • Mama crouches and smiles
  • her old useful smile
  • and old ego roars - laughs yesterday's gasses
  • while children and angels gasp
  • and follow a shepherd on crutches
  • When the Witch Doctor Life
  • throws his silent bones
  • some flee the dream
  • some turn to stone
  • and the children sing
  • and the heavens ring
  • worn by the shepherd with the folded wings
  • and the bones that sing of silence
