Captain Beefheart - Well lyrics

Light floats down day river, on a red raft of blood Night blocks out the heaven, like a big, black, shiny bug Its hard soft shell shinin' white, in one spot, well It's hard place, that I'm livin', but I'm doin' well, well The white ice horse melted, like a spot of silver, well Its mane went last, then disappeared the tail My life ran through my veins Whistlin' hollow, well I froze in solid motion, well, well I heard the ocean swarmin' body, well, well I heard the beetle clickin', well I sensed the thickest silence scream Then I begin to dream My mind cracked like custard Ran red until it sealed Turn to wooden and rolled like a wheel, well, well Thick, black felt birds, a-flyin' With capes of solid chrome With feathers of solid chrome And beaks of solid bone And bleach the air around them White and cold well, well Till it showed in pain The hollow cane clicked like ever after Its shadow vanished shinin' silence, well, well
