Abattoir Blues

Abattoir Blues - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (尼克凱夫與壞種子合唱團)

The sun is high up in the sky and I'm in my car

Drifting down into the abattoir

Do you see what I see dear

The air grows heavy I listen to your breath

Entwined together in this culture of death

Do you see what I see dear

Slide on over here let me give you a squeeze

To avert this unholy evolutionary trajectory

Can you hear what I hear babe

Does it make you feel afraid

Everything's dissolving

Babe according to plan

The sky is on fire the dead

Are heaped across the land

I went to bed last night and

My moral code got jammed

I woke up this morning with

A Frappucino in my hand

I kissed you once I kissed you again

My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange

Do you feel what I feel dear

Mass extinction darling hypocrisy

These things are not good for me

Do you see what I see dear

The line the God throws down to you and me

Makes a pleasing geometry

Shall we leave this place now dear

Is there someway out of here

I wake with the sparrows

And I hurry off to work

The need for validation babe

Gone completely berserk

I wanted to be your Superman

But I turned out such a jerk

I got the abattoir blues

I got the abattoir blues

I got the abattoir blues

Right down to my shoes
