[Nick Cave, The Bad Seeds - Heart That Kills You lyrics]
Adam watches his little Eve sleeping in a grief of snow
Not knowing what to do or where to go
He packed his bags for the big city
Oh what else, lie around lying there
Coughing up here dreams, serpents sink inside her with their fangs
And bite her deep, so deep she loved it
'Oh Adam', she said 'Oh Adam don't stop'
She said don't stop 'Oh, oh, oh'
He said 'No we cannot stay, like apples we will drop'
And stepped from the garden into L.A
In the end it is your heart that kills you
And I know that you won't be coming here today
In the end it is your heart that kills you
It's all wrong but it's alright in its way
We are beginning our descent, said the tannoy on the way to L.A
Adam leaned across to little Eve and explained what that meant
And handed her the oxygen mask as she looked out the window
And watched the babies writing in the clouds, turning into clouds
She said 'No, no, no, no, no don't stop, oh Adam don't, don't stop, don't stop'
But the tin can turned down and like a little apple dropped
And into old and angry age
Cause in the end it is your heart that kills you
I know that you won't come now, stay
Cause in the end it is your heart that kills you
I know that you won't come now, stay
Not knowing what to do or where to go
He packed his bags for the big city
Oh what else, lie around lying there
Coughing up here dreams, serpents sink inside her with their fangs
And bite her deep, so deep she loved it
'Oh Adam', she said 'Oh Adam don't stop'
She said don't stop 'Oh, oh, oh'
He said 'No we cannot stay, like apples we will drop'
And stepped from the garden into L.A
In the end it is your heart that kills you
And I know that you won't be coming here today
In the end it is your heart that kills you
It's all wrong but it's alright in its way
We are beginning our descent, said the tannoy on the way to L.A
Adam leaned across to little Eve and explained what that meant
And handed her the oxygen mask as she looked out the window
And watched the babies writing in the clouds, turning into clouds
She said 'No, no, no, no, no don't stop, oh Adam don't, don't stop, don't stop'
But the tin can turned down and like a little apple dropped
And into old and angry age
Cause in the end it is your heart that kills you
I know that you won't come now, stay
Cause in the end it is your heart that kills you
I know that you won't come now, stay
