From the recording Ominous Bus
Lyrics and melody came to Carl in a dream. Brian added his own dreamy sounds.
Lyrics
CROWN OF CROWS
E C B A
ONCE UPON A TIME I SAW YOU STANDING THERE IN A FOREIGN LAND
IN YOUR GOWN SO GREEN AND YOUR LIPS SO RED AND EYES SO BLUE
CHORUS
F# D A Ab
AND THEN YOU WAVED TO ME YOU SAID HELLO HELLO GOODBYE
AND THEN YOU CALLED TO ME YOU SAID HELLO HELLO GOODBYE
YOU SAID YOUR NAME WAS ARABELLE FRANKENSTEIN MOVIE STAR
YOU SAID YOU HAVE COME SO CLOSE TO LEARNING ALL THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
ABOVE YOUR CURLY HEAD THERE BURNED A STAR SO SHARP AND CLEAN
IT MADE A CROWN FOR YOU, A CROWN OF CROWS MY TERRIBLE QUEEN
CHORUS
