Lyrics Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band – The Clouds Are Full Of Wine (Not Whiskey Or Rye)
Text:
The clouds are full of wine
Not whiskey or rye
‘N the sky is full of bluebrains
Bluejays, mermaids
Bluebrains, bluejays, bluebirds, mermaids
Bluejays, bluebirds, rainbows
‘N the night is full of rhinestones
Pinecones, telephones
‘N the sky is full of rhinestones, pinecones, telephones
Wolfhowls, milkcows
Shadows to some how’s
‘N the clouds are full of wine
Not whiskey or rye
‘N the sky is full of bluebrains
Baboons, rhinos, fools ‘n’ buffoons
‘N my eyes are full of bloodbones
Snowcones, serenaders ‘n’ senoritas
‘N so on…
Melodies that go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go off, go off, go off, go off
Bluejays, bluebirds, rainbows
‘N the night is full of rhinestones
Pinecones, telephones
‘N the sky is full of rhinestones, pinecones, telephones
Wolfhowls, milkcows
Shadows to some how’s
‘N the clouds are full of wine
Not whiskey or rye
‘N the sky is full of bluebrains
Baboons, rhinos, fools ‘n’ buffoons
‘N my eyes are full of bloodbones
Snowcones, serenaders ‘n’ senoritas
‘N so on…
Melodies that go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go off, go off, go off, go off
