the last great american dynasty

[00:12.88] Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny

[00:18.63] Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis

[00:25.87] Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name, and money

[00:31.12] And the town said "How did a middle class divorcée do it?"

[00:38.87] The wedding was charming, if a little gauche

[00:42.13] There's only so far new money goes

[00:45.37] They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"

[00:51.62] Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud

[00:54.87] The doctor had told him to settle down

[00:58.38] It must have been her fault his heart gave out

[01:02.87] And they said "There goes the last great American dynasty"

[01:11.13] Who knows, if she never showed up what could've been

[01:17.37] There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen

[01:23.12] She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[01:30.62] Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever

[01:36.93] Flew in all the Bitch Pack friends from the city

[01:42.67] Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names

[01:45.91] And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet

[01:49.92] And losing on card game bets with Dalí

[01:54.66] And they said "There goes the last great American dynasty"

[02:02.90] Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

[02:09.41] There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen

[02:14.91] She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[02:22.41] They say she was seen on occasion

[02:25.16] Pacing the rocks staring out at the midnight sea

[02:28.91] And in a feud with her neighbor

[02:31.66] She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green

[02:35.41] Fifty years is a long time

[02:37.91] Holiday House sat quietly on that beach

[02:41.66] Free of women with madness

[02:44.65] Their men and bad habits, and then it was bought by me

[02:54.66] Who knows, if I never showed up what could've been

[03:01.16] There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen

[03:06.66] I had a marvelous time ruining everything

[03:13.41] I had a marvelous time

[03:18.66] Ruining everything

[03:19.94] A marvelous time

[03:24.93] Ruining everything

[03:26.68] A marvelous time

[03:32.68] I had a marvelous time
