 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]
