Nick Cave - "Euthanasia" - Lyrics / Letra (Idiot Prayer, Alone at Alexandra Palace, 2020)

Nick Cave
"Euthanasia"

I Look for you underneath the damp earth,

I Look to you in the night sky,

I Look to you in underneath the thorn bush,

I look for you in the old city,

And in looking for you I lost myself,

Lost myself in time.

Lost myself into the damp earth,

Lost myself in the night sky,

Lost myself underneath the thorn bush,

Lost myself in the old city,

And in losing myself I found myself,

Found myself in time.

Oh, when you stepped out of the vehicle

And attached yourself to my heart,

It was a kind of dying,

A kind of dying,

Dying of time.

And I fled from the old city,

Fled underneath the thorn bush,

Fled into the night sky,

Fled underneath the damp earth,

Where I passed through a doorway

And found you sitting at the kitchen table

And smiled

That smile that smiles, that smiles,

That smile that smiles, that smiles,

That smile that smiles, that smiles...

Smiles just in time.
