Nick Cave & The Bad Seed - The Lyre Of Orpheus

 (versiyon 1)
Metin boyutu: ( + Büyült ) ( - Küçült)   
Orpheus sat gloomy in his garden shed

Wondering what to do

With a lump of wood and a piece of wire

And a little pot of glue

Oh mama, oh mama



He sawed at the wood with half a heart

And glued it top to bottom

He strung a wire in between

He was feeling something rotten

Oh mama, oh mama



Orpheus looked at his instrument

And he gave the wire a pluck

He heard a sound so beautiful

He gasped and said, "Oh my God"

Oh mama, oh mama



He rushed inside to tell his wife

He went racing down the halls

Eurydice was still asleep in bed

Like a sack of cannonballs

Oh mama, oh mama



"Look what I've made", cried Orpheus

And he plucked a gentle note

Eurydices eyes popped from their sockets

And her tongue burst through her throat

Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh mama



"Oh God, what have I done" he said

As her blood pooled in the sheets

But in his heart he felt a bliss

Which nothing could compete

Oh mama, oh mama



Orpheus went leaping through the fields

Strumming as hard as he did please

Birdies detonated in the sky

Bunnies dashed their brains out on the trees

Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh mama



Orpheus strummed till his fingers bled

He hit a G minor seven

He woke up God from a deep, deep sleep

God was a major player in Heaven

Oh mama, oh mama



God picked up a giant hammer

And he threw it with an thunderous yell

It smashed down hard on Orpheus' head

And it knocked him down a well

Oh mama, oh mama



Well, the well went down very deep

Very deep went down the well

Well, the well went down so very deep

Well, the well went down to Hell

Oh mama, oh mama



Poor Orpheus woke up with a start

All amongst the rotting dead

His lyre tucked safe under his arm

His brains all down his head

Oh mama, oh mama



Eurydice appeared brindled in blood

She said to Orpheus

"If you play that fucking thing down here

I'll stick it up your orifice"

Oh, mama, oh mama



"This lyre lark is for the birds", said Orpheus

"It's enough to send you bats

Let's stay down here, Eurydice, dear

And we'll have a bunch of screaming brats"

Oh, mama, oh mama



Orpheus picked up his lyre for the last time

He was on a real low down bummer

He stared deep into the abyss and said

"This one is for mama"

Oh, mama, oh mama



Oh mama, oh mama

Oh mama, oh mama

Oh mama, oh mama
