Deep In The Woods Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

The woods eats the woman and dumps her honey-body in the mud 

Her dress floats down the well and it assumes the shape of the body of a little girl 

Yeah I recognize that girl 

She stumbled in some time last loneliness 

But I could not stand to touch her now 

My one and onlyness. 

Deep in the woods 

Deep in the woods 

Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging. 

Worms make their cruel design 

Saying D-I-E into her skin 

Saying DEAD into belly and DEATH into shoulder 

Well last night she kissed me but than DEATH was upon her. 

Deep in the woods 

Deep in the woods 

Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging. 

Now the killed waits for the killer 

And the trees all nod their heads, they are agreed 

This knife feels like a knife feels like a knife that feels like it's feed. 

Yeah I recognize that girl 

I took her from rags right through to stitches (pray for me now) 

Oh baby, tonight we sleep in separate ditches. 

Deep in the woods 

Deep in the woods 

Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging. 

Love is for fools and all fools are lovers 

It's raining on my house and none of the others 

Love is for fools and God knows I'm still one 

The sidewalks are filled with love's lonely children 

The sidewalk regrets that we had to kill them.
