Lyrics
Dead Opera Star
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
there is a dead
opera star
floating in the great
dismal swamp
and he was wearing
a dress with watermelons on it
and he stuffed his bra
with spanish moss
dead opera star
dead opera star
dead opera star
floating in the great dismal swamp
black tupelo
where all the planets beyond goes to die
the air hangs thick
with dead electricity
he was chased by ball lightning
went crazy from sleeping under the moonlight
and the soul of a unbaptised infant
he swims the waters upsetting boats
dead opera star
dead opera star
dead opera star
floating in the great dismal swamp
