Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Messiah Ward Lyrics
I hope you're sitting comfortablyI saved you the best seat in the houseRight up in the front rowThe stars have been torn downThe moon is locked awayAnd the land is banked in frozen snowYou are a forte of nature, dearYour breath curls from your lipsAs the trees bend down their branchesAnd touch you with their fingertipsThey're bringing out the dead nowIt's easy just to look awayThey are bringing out the dead nowIt's been a strange, strange dayWe could navigate out position by the starsBut they've taken out the starsThe stars have all goneI'm glad you've come alongWe could comprehend ourcondition by the moonBut they've ordered the the moon not to shineStill, I 'm glad you've come alongI was worried out of my mindCause, they keep bringing out the deadIt's easy just to look awayThey're bringing out the dead, nowAnd it's been a long, strange dayYou can move up a little closerI will throw a blanket overWe can weigh all the tears in one handAgainst the laughter in the otherWe could be hanging around here for centuriesTrying to make sense of this, my dearWhile the planets try to get organisedWay above the stratosphereBut they keep bringing out the dead, nowIt's easy if we just walk awayThey keep bringing out the dead, nowIt's been a long, long dayLook awayLook away
