From Her To Eternity - Nick Cave & the bad seeds
Ah tell about a girl
She lives in room 29
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
Ah catch'em in my mouth
Walk'n'cry
Walk'n'cry
Walk'n'cry
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
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 I can hear the most melancholy sound
Ah ever heard
Walk'n'cry
Walk'n'cry
Kneel'n'cry-y
Kneel'n'cry-y
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
O tell me why O tell me why
Oh Why Why Why
Don't tell me a lie
Why the ceiling still shakes
Why the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes
This desire to possess her is a wound
And its nagging at me like a shrew
But Ah know that to possess her
Is therefore not to desire her
O my little girl would just have to go
Go Go Go Go
Go Go-o-o
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
