Lyrics Captain Beefheart – Petrified Forest

The rug’s wearing out that we walk on
Soon it will fray ‘n’ 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, brothers, if no one would play
‘N 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 some day
?
No seed shall sow in salt water
If the dinosaur cries with blood in his eyes
In 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 rumbling through
Your petrified forest
