Rate Do You Love Me? (Part 2)
Artist : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds Song : Do You Love Me? (Part 2)
Onward! And Onward! And Onward I go Where no
man before could be bothered to go Till the
soles of my shoes are shot full of holes And
it's all downhill with a bullet This ramblin'
and rovin' has taken it's course I'm grazing
with the dinosaurs and the dear old horses And
the city streets crack and a great hole
forces Me down with my soapbox, my
pulpit The theatre ceiling is silver star
spangled And the coins in my pocket go
jingle-jangle
Do you love me? Do
you love me? Do you love me? Do you love
me?
There's a man in the theatre with
girlish eyes Who's holding my childhood to
ransom On the screen there's a
death, there's a rustle of cloth And a
sickly voice calling me handsome There's a man
in the theatre with sly girlish eyes On the
screen there's an ape, a gorilla There's a
groan, there's a cough, there's a rustle of
cloth And a voice that stinks of death and
vanilla This is a secret, mauled and
mangled And the coins in my pocket go
jingle-jangle
Do you love me? Do
you love me? Do you love me? Do you love
me?
The walls in the ceiling are
painted in blood The lights go down, the red
curtains come apart The room is full of smoke
and dialogue I know by heart And the coins in
my pocket jingle-jangle As the great screen
crackled and popped And the clock of my
boyhood was wound down and stopped And my
handsome little body oddly propped And my
trousers ride down to my ankles Yes, onward!
And upward! And I'm off to find love Do you
love me? If you do, I'm thankful
Do
you love me? Do you love me? Do you love
me? Do you love me?
This city is an
ogre squatting by the river It gives life but
it takes it away, my youth There comes a time
when you just cannot deliver This is a fact.
This is a stone cold truth. Do you love me? I
love you, handsome. But do you love me? Yes, I
love you, you are handsome Amongst the cogs
and the wires, my youth Vanilla breath and
handsome apes with girlish eyes Dreams that
roam between truth and untruth Memories that
become monstrous lies So onward! And Onward!
And Onward I go! Onward! And Upward! And I'm
off to find love With blue-black bracelets on
my wrists and my ankles And the coins in my
pocket go jingle-jangle
Do you love
me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do
you love me? ...
