Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - From Her To Eternity Lyrics
Ah wanna tell ya bout a girlYou know, she lives in room 29Why... why... thats the one right up top a mineAh start to cry, ah start to cryO ah hear her walkinWalkin barefoot cross the floor-boardsAll thru this lonesome nightAh hear her crying too.Hot-tears come splashin on downLeaking thru the cracks,Down upon my face, ah catchem in my mouth!Ah catchem in my mouth!Ah catchem in my mouth!Walkncry walkncry-y!!!From her to eternity!From her to eternity!From her to eternity!Ah read her diary on her sheetsScrutinizin every lil bit of dirtTore out a pagenstufft it inside my shirtFled outa the window,And shinning it down the vineOuta her night-mare, and back into mineMine! o mine!From her to eternity!From her to eternity!From her to eternity!Cry! cry! cry!Shes wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet!And standin like this with my ear to the ceilingListen, ah know it must sound absurdBut ah can hear the most melancholy soundAh ever heard!Walkncry! kneelncry-y!From her to eternity!From her to eternity!O tell me why? o tell me why?Oh why? why? why?O tell me why and dont tell me a lie!Why the ceiling still shakes? shakes! shakes! shakes!Why the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes?This desire to possess her is a woundAnd its naggin at me like a shrewBut, ah know, that to possess herIs, therefore, not to desire her.O o o then ya know, that lil girl would just have to go!Go! go-o-o! from her to eternity!From her to eternity! [repeat]
