Stranger than Kindness lyrics

Artist  : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds 
Song : Stranger than Kindness
 


Stranger than kindness
Bottled light from
hotels
Spilling everything
Wet hand from
the volcano
Sobers your skin
Stranger than
Kindness

You caress yourself
And grind
my soft cold bones below
Your map of
desire
Burned in your flesh
Even a fool can
come
A strange lit stair
And find a rope
hanging there
Stranger than
kindness

Keys rain like heaven's
hair
There is no home there is no bread
We
sit at the gate and scratch

The gaunt
fruit of passion
Dies in the light
Stranger
than kindness

Your sleeping hands
journey
The loiter
Stranger than
kindness
You hold me so carelessy
close
Tell me I'm dirty
Stranger than
kindness
