the last american dynasty
[00:13.57] Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny
[00:19.07] Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis
[00:25.57] Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name, and money
[00:31.58] And the town said "How did a middle class divorcée do it?"
[00:38.83] The wedding was charming, if a little gauche
[00:42.05] There's only so far new money goes
[00:45.57] They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"
[00:52.07] Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
[00:55.32] The doctor had told him to settle down
[00:58.32] It must have been her fault his heart gave out
[01:03.59] And they said "There goes the last great American dynasty"
[01:11.03] Who knows, if she never showed up what could've been
[01:17.82] There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
[01:23.32] She had a marvelous time ruining everything
[01:31.08] Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever
[01:37.33] Flew in all the Bitch Pack friends from the city
[01:42.82] Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names
[01:46.32] And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet
[01:50.57] And losing on card game bets with Dalí
[01:55.08] And they said "There goes the last great American dynasty"
[02:03.07] Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
[02:09.57] There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen
[02:15.32] She had a marvelous time ruining everything
[02:22.59] They say she was seen on occasion
[02:25.58] Pacing the rocks staring out at the midnight sea
[02:29.09] And in a feud with her neighbor
[02:31.79] She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green
[02:35.83] Fifty years is a long time
[02:38.34] Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
[02:41.82] Free of women with madness
[02:44.57] Their men and bad habits, and then it was bought by me
[02:55.07] Who knows, if I never showed up what could've been
[03:01.29] There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen
[03:07.09] I had a marvelous time ruining everything
[03:14.58] I had a marvelous time
[03:18.84] Ruining everything
[03:20.58] A marvelous time
[03:25.33] Ruining everything
[03:26.82] A marvelous time
[03:33.08] I had a marvelous time
