Nick Cave - Idiot Prayer Lyrics
Theyre taking me down, my friendAnd as they usher me off to my endWill I bid you adieu?Or will I be seeing you soon?If what they say around here is trueThen well meet againMe and youMy time is at hand, my doveTheyre gonna pass me to that house aboveIs heaven just for victims, dear?Where only those in pain go?Well it takes two to tangoWe will meet again, my loveI knowIf youre in heaven then youll forgive me, dearBecause thats what they do up thereIf youre in hell, then what can I sayYou probably deserved in anywayI guess Im gonna find out any dayFor well meet againAnd therell be hell to payYour face comes to me from the depths, dearYour silent mouth mouths, yes, dearDark red and big with bloodTheyre gonna shut me down, my loveTheyre gonna launch me into the starsWell, all things come to passGlory hallelujahThis prayer is for you, my loveSent on the wings of a doveAn idiot prayer of empty wordsLove, dear, is strictly for the birdsWe each get what we deserveMy little snow white doveRest assured
