the last great american dynasty

[00:12.42] Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny

[00:18.17] Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis

[00:25.41] Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money

[00:30.91] And the town said, "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"

[00:38.41] The wedding was charming, if a little gauche

[00:41.65] There's only so far new money goes

[00:44.92] They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"

[00:51.41] Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud

[00:54.66] The doctor had told him to settle down

[00:57.91] It must have been her fault his heart gave out

[01:02.51] And they said

[01:04.01] "There goes the last great American dynasty

[01:10.52] Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

[01:17.01] There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen

[01:22.76] She had a marvelous time ruining everything"

[01:30.52] Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever

[01:36.52] Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city

[01:42.01] Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names

[01:45.42] And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet

[01:49.68] And losing on card game bets with Dalí

[01:54.43] And they said

[01:56.17] "There goes the last great American dynasty

[02:02.67] Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

[02:08.96] There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen

[02:14.47] She had a marvelous time ruining everything"

[02:21.82] They say she was seen on occasion

[02:24.58] Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea

[02:28.32] And in a feud with her neighbor

[02:31.10] She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green

[02:34.83] Fifty years is a long time

[02:37.57] Holiday House sat quietly on that beach

[02:41.33] Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits

[02:45.83] And then it was bought by me

[02:54.33] Who knows, if I never showed up, what could've been

[03:00.83] There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen

[03:06.58] I had a marvelous time ruining everything

[03:13.08] I had a marvelous time ruining everything

[03:19.82] A marvelous time ruining everything

[03:26.33] A marvelous time

[03:32.33] I had a marvelous time
