Beatle Bones 'N' Smokin' Stones Lyrics

Beatle bones and smokin' Stones
The dry sands fall
The strawberry mouth; strawberry moth; strawberry caterpillar
Strawberry butterfly; strawberry fields
The winged eel slither on the heels of today's children
Strawberry feels forever

Yeah, roosters, ol' glass roosters, stick to your race
In a drag-queen, live-wood farmhouse
Tractors are clawin'; the folks are crawlin'
Trees in a row climbing a coach and I blow rich
Red, blue, yellow sunset
Where I set and you set; and I've loved and you've loved
And I've seen and you've seen

Salt Man has just made his mark - and crumbled
The dark - the light - the dark - the day
Porcelain children see through white lights
Soft-cracker bats, Cheshire cats named
The Dark - the Light - the Dark - the Day

Blue veins through gray-felt tomorrows
Cellular sail-boat - ye ole feathered kind
Blow it into a pond swayin' in circles
Red, blue, yellow sunset.
Where I've set and you've set; and I've loved and you've loved
What I saw and you saw
Strawberry feels forever

Beatle bones and smokin' Stones 
The dry sands fall 
The strawberry mouth; strawberry moth; strawberry caterpillar 
Strawberry butterfly; strawberry fields 
The winged eel slither on the heels of today's children 
Strawberry feels forever 
  
Yeah, roosters, ol' glass roosters, stick to your race 
In a drag-queen, live-wood farmhouse 
Tractors are clawin'; the folks are crawlin' 
Trees in a row climbing a coach and I blow rich 
Red, blue, yellow sunset 
Where I set and you set; and I've loved and you've loved 
And I've seen and you've seen 
  
Salt Man has just made his mark - and crumbled 
The dark - the light - the dark - the day 
Porcelain children see through white lights 
Soft-cracker bats, Cheshire cats named 
The Dark - the Light - the Dark - the Day 
  
Blue veins through gray-felt tomorrows 
Cellular sail-boat - ye ole feathered kind 
Blow it into a pond swayin' in circles 
Red, blue, yellow sunset. 
Where I've set and you've set; and I've loved and you've loved 
What I saw and you saw 
Strawberry feels forever

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
