Nick Cave, Warren Ellis - Shattered Ground lyrics
[Nick Cave, Warren Ellis - Shattered Ground lyrics]
My moon in the night sky, with pale eyes
And pale skin and long hair covering her naked body
And sometimes she's laughing and sometimes she's crying
And sometimes the moon is talking to nobody
And there's a madness in her and a madness in me
And together it forms a kind of sanity
Oh baby don't leave me
We drove through the hills with the moon in our eyes
We bought a house in the country where we could lose our minds
The moon is a girl with tears in her eyes
Who is throwing her bags in the back of the car
I am not even remotely surprised
And she's waving goodbye, and she is waving goodbye
Well, the moon is a girl with the sun in her eyes
Oh yeah
Everywhere you are I am
And everywhere you are, well I will hold your hand again
Only you are beautiful, only you are true
I don't care what they are saying
They can scream their fucking faces blue again
I will be all alone when you are gone, all alone when you're gone
And I will not make a single sound
Not make a single sound, not make a single sound
But come softly crashing down
Come softly crashing down, come softly crashing down
My pieces scattered all around
Scattered around, scattered around
Toppled on the shattered ground, on the shattered ground
And you're waving goodbye
She is waving goodbye
The moon is a girl with the sun in her eyes
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Oh baby, oh baby
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Oh baby, goodbye
Oh, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Oh baby, oh goodbye
And pale skin and long hair covering her naked body
And sometimes she's laughing and sometimes she's crying
And sometimes the moon is talking to nobody
And there's a madness in her and a madness in me
And together it forms a kind of sanity
Oh baby don't leave me
We drove through the hills with the moon in our eyes
We bought a house in the country where we could lose our minds
The moon is a girl with tears in her eyes
Who is throwing her bags in the back of the car
I am not even remotely surprised
And she's waving goodbye, and she is waving goodbye
Well, the moon is a girl with the sun in her eyes
Oh yeah
Everywhere you are I am
And everywhere you are, well I will hold your hand again
Only you are beautiful, only you are true
I don't care what they are saying
They can scream their fucking faces blue again
I will be all alone when you are gone, all alone when you're gone
And I will not make a single sound
Not make a single sound, not make a single sound
But come softly crashing down
Come softly crashing down, come softly crashing down
My pieces scattered all around
Scattered around, scattered around
Toppled on the shattered ground, on the shattered ground
And you're waving goodbye
She is waving goodbye
The moon is a girl with the sun in her eyes
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Oh baby, oh baby
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Oh baby, goodbye
Oh, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Oh baby, oh goodbye
