Deanna lyrics

Artist  : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds 
Song : Deanna
 


O DEANNA
O Deanna!
O DEANNA
Sweet
Deanna!
O DEANNA
You know you are my
friend, yeah
O DEANNA
And I ain't down here
for your money
I ain't down here for your
love
I ain't down here for your love or
money
I'm down here for your soul

No
carpet on the floor
And the winding cloth
holds many moths
Around your Ku Klux
furniture
I cum of death-head in your
frock
We discuss the murder plan
We discuss
murder and the murder act
Murder takes the
wheel of your Cadillac
And death climbs in the
back

O DEANNA
This is a car
O
DEANNA
This is a gun
O DEANNA
And this a
day number one
O DEANNA
Our little crimeworn
histories
Black and smoking christmas
trees
And honey, it ain't mystery
Why
you're a mystery to me

We will eat out of
their pantries
And their parlours
Ashy
leaving in their beds
And we'll unload into
their heads
On this mean season
This little
angel that I squeezin'
She ain't been mean to
me

O DEANNA
O Deanna!
O
DEANNA
You are my friend and my partner
O
DEANNA
On this house on the hill
O
DEANNA
And I ain't down here for your
money
I ain't down here for your love
I
ain't down here for your love or money
I'm
down here for your soul

O DEANNA
I am
a-knocking
O DEANNA
With my toolbox and my
stocking
O DEANNA
And I'll meet you on the
corner
O DEANNA
Yes, you point it like a
finger
O DEANNA
And squeeze its little
thing
O DEANNA
Feel its kick, hear its
bang
And let no worry about its issue
Don't
worry about where its been
and don't worry
about where it hits
Cause it just ain't yours
to sin

O DEANNA
No it just ain't your
to sin
O DEANNA
Sweet Deanna
O
DEANNA
And we ain't getting any younger
O
DEANNA
And I don't intend gettin' any
older
O DEANNA
The sun a hump at my
shoulder
O DEANNA
O Deanna!
O
DEANNA
Sweet Deanna
O DEANNA
And I ain't
down here for your money
I ain't down here for
your love
I ain't down here for your love of
money
I'm down here for your soul
