Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds From Her To Eternity
Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl You kno, she lives in Apt. 29 Why... that's the one right up top a mine Ah start to cry, Ah start to cry O ah hear her walkin Walkin barefoot cross the floor-boards All thru this lonesome night And ah hear her crying too. Hot-tears come splashin on down Leaking thru the cracks, Down upon my face, ah catch'em in my mouth! Walk'n'cry Walk'n'cry-y!!! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! Ah read her diary on her sheets Scrutinizin every lil piece of dirt Tore out a page'n'stufft it inside my shirt Fled outa the window, And shinning it down the vine Outa her night-mare, and back into mine Mine! O Mine! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! Cry! Cry! CRY! She's wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet! and standin like this with my ear to the ceiling Listen ah kno it must sound absurd but ah can hear the most melancholy sound ah ever heard! Walk'n'cry! Kneel'n'cry-y! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! O tell me why? Why? Why? Why the ceiling still shakes? Why the fixtures turn to serpants snakes? This desire to possess her is a wound and its naggin at me like a shrew but, ah kno, that to possess her Is, therefore, not to desire her. O o o then ya kno, that lil girl would just have to go! Go! Go-o-o! From her to eternity!
