The Moon Is In The Gutter Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

The moon is in the gutter 

And the stars wash down the sink 

I am the king of the blues 

I scape the clay off my shoes 

And wade down the gutter, gutter and the moon 

The moon blind my eye with opal cataracts 

As I cut through the saw-mills and the stacks 

Leaping over the gully where I would one day take Lucy 

Then wash up my hands in the gutter and the moon 

Such a long way from home 

Just me and the moon is in the gutter 

And all my plans are flushed down the drain 

I wander lonely as a cloud 

Over memories at her mound 

Then lie down in the bitter gutter moon
