Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

I walk into the corner of my room See my friends in high places I don't know which is which or who is whom They've stolen each other's faces Janet is there with her high head and hair Full of bedroom feathers Janet is known to make dead men groan In any kind of weather I crawl over to her I say hey baby I say hey Janet You are the one, you are the sun And I'm your dutiful planet But she ain't down with any of that Cause she's heard that shit before And I say uh huh, oh yeah you're right Cause I see Betty X standing by the door With more news from nowhere Yeah more news from nowhere And it's getting strange in here Yeah it's getting stranger every year More news from nowhere Yeah more news from nowhere Alright now Now Betty X is like Betty Y minus that fatal chromosome Her hair is like the wine dark sea in which sailors come home I say hey baby I say hey Betty X I lean close up to her throat This light you are carrying is like a lamp Hanging from a distant boat It is my light says Betty X Betty X says this light ain't yours And so much wind blew through her words That I went rolling down the hall For more news from nowhere More news from nowhere, uh huh huh And it's strange in here Yeah it gets stranger every year More news from nowhere Yeah more news from nowhere, uh huh huh I turn another corner I go down a corridor And I see this guy He must be about one hundred foot tall And he only has one eye He asks me for my autograph I write nobody and then I wrap myself up in my woolly coat And I blind him with my pen Cause someone must have stuck something in my drink Everything's getting strange lookin' Half the people have turned into squealing pigs The other half are cooking Well let me out of here I cried And I went pushing past And I saw Miss Polly singing with some girls I cried, "Strap me to the mast" For more news from nowhere Yeah more news from nowhere, uh huh huh It's getting strange in here And it gets stranger every year More news from nowhere Yeah more news from nowhere Well then a black girl with no clothes on She danced across the room We charted the progress of the planets Around that boogie woogie moon I called her my nubian princess Gave her some sweet back fatass jive Spent the next seven years between her legs A-pining for my wife But then by and by it all went wrong I fell washed up on a shore She stared down at me from up in the storm And I sopped up on the floor For more news from nowhere Yeah more news from nowhere uh huh huh And don't it make you feel alone Don't it make you wanna get right on home More news from nowhere More news from nowhere, let me hear it now Well here comes Elena with two black eyes She's given herself a transfusion She's filled herself with panda blood To avoid all the confusion I say the sun rises and falls with you And various things about love But a rising violence in me cuts all my circuits off Well Elena she starts screaming Her cheeks are full of psychotropic leaves Her extinction was nearly absolute When she turned her back on me For more news from nowhere I said more news from nowhere And it's getting strange in here Yeah it gets stranger every year More news from nowhere Yeah more news from nowhere Alright Alright I bump and crash into Deanna Hanging pretty in the door frame All the horrors that have befallen me Well Deanna is to blame Every time I see you baby You make me feel so unalone And I wipe my face into her dress Long after she'd gone home With more news from nowhere Yeah more news from nowhere And don't it make you feel alone Yeah and don't it make you wanna get right back home More news from nowhere Yeah more news from nowhere Alright And don't it make you feel so sad Don't the blood rush to your feet To think that everything you do today Tomorrow is obsolete Technology and women And little children too Don't it make you feel blue Don't it make you feel blue For more news from nowhere With more news from nowhere Don't it make you feel alone Yeah and don't it make you wanna get right back home More news from nowhere Yeah more news from nowhere One last time Well I gotta say Yeah I gotta say Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye
