Cover art for Space-Age Couple lyrics by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band

Pretty self-explanatory - just wanted to mention that the second verse of "leaves/dew" sounds exactly like "what's on the lease ain't due no more". The Captain loved to play with words and this line would fit the song perfectly - an indictment of greed at the expense of the planet - our nice cars and big screen tv's taking precedent over all else.

Sadly, it's a perfect song for today's troubled times.
