03 the last great american dynasty
[00:04.07] "the last great american dynasty"
[00:12.56] Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny
[00:18.56] Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis
[00:24.85] Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name, and money
[00:31.55] And the town said "How did a middle class divorcée do it?"
[00:38.57] The wedding was charming, if a little gauche
[00:41.57] There's only so far new money goes
[00:44.33] They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"
[00:50.81] Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
[00:54.05] The doctor had told him to settle down
[00:57.82] It must have been her fault his heart gave out
[01:02.82] And they said "There goes the last great American dynasty"
[01:10.57] Who knows, if she never showed up what could've been
[01:17.07] There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
[01:23.07] She had a marvelous time ruining everything
[01:30.54] Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever
[01:36.32] Flew in all the Bitch Pack friends from the city
[01:42.55] Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names
[01:45.80] And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet
[01:50.10] And losing on card game bets with Dalí
[01:54.57] And they said "There goes the last great American dynasty"
[02:02.32] Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
[02:08.84] There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen
[02:15.07] She had a marvelous time ruining everything
[02:22.05] They say she was seen on occasion
[02:25.54] Pacing the rocks staring out at the midnight sea
[02:28.33] And in a feud with her neighbor
[02:31.33] She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green
[02:35.08] Fifty years is a long time
[02:37.82] Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
[02:41.57] Free of women with madness
[02:44.30] Their men and bad habits, and then it was bought by me
[02:54.57] Who knows, if I never showed up what could've been
[03:00.79] There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen
[03:06.82] I had a marvelous time ruining everything
[03:13.36] I had a marvelous time
[03:18.17] Ruining everything
[03:20.32] A marvelous time
[03:25.08] Ruining everything
[03:26.59] A marvelous time
[03:32.84] I had a marvelous time
