Rate From Her To Eternity
Artist : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds Song : From Her To Eternity
Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl You know, she
lives in room 29 Why... Why... that's the one
right up top a mine Ah start to cry, Ah start
to cry
O Ah hear her
walkin' Walkin' barefoot cross the
floor-boards All thru this lonesome
night Ah hear her crying too. Hot-tears
come splashin on down Leaking thru the
cracks, Down upon my face, Ah catch'em in my
mouth! Ah catch'em in my mouth! Ah catch'em
in my mouth! Walk'n'cry
Walk'n'cry-y!!!
From her to
eternity! From her to eternity! From her to
eternity!
Ah read her diary on her
sheets Scrutinizin' every lil bit of
dirt Tore out a page'n'stufft it inside my
shirt Fled outa the window, And shinning it
down the vine Outa her night-mare, and back
into mine Mine! O Mine!
From her to
eternity! From her to eternity! From her to
eternity! Cry! Cry! CRY!
She's
wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet! and
standin' like this with my ear to the
ceiling Listen, Ah know it must sound
absurd but Ah can hear the most melancholy
sound Ah ever heard! Walk'n'cry!
Kneel'n'cry-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 don't 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 wound and its naggin at me
like a shrew but, Ah know, that to possess
her Is, 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]
