Doctor Why Lyrics by Carla Bley

Escalator Over the Hill

1971

JACK:
Clear
Vacancy
Clear
Everything's all right
Clear
Everything's just fine
The doctor is here
And they're getting
The head back in
Ginger:
Nurses dyeing their hair
Don't care
If the horse is locked
The house still there
It doesn't seem
To matter to them
The traces
Of horses
Ginger and jack:
And pineapple
And cheese
So many ingredients
In the soup
(On the hardwood floor)
No room for a spoon
