Hold On To Yourself Lyrics - Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

I'm so far away from you 

I'm pacing up and down my room 

Does Jesus only love a man who loses? 

I turn on the radio 

There's some cat on the saxophone 

Laying down a litany of excuses 

There's madhouse longing in my baby's eyes 

She rubs a lamp between her thighs 

And hopes the genie comes out singing 

And she lives in some forgotten song 

And moves like she is zombie-strong 

Breathes steady as the pendulum keeps swinging 

You better hold on to yourself

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Well, cities rust and fall to ruin 

Factories close and cars go cruising 

In and around the borders of her vision 

She says oh woah woah woah 

As Jesus makes the flowers grow 

All around the scene of her collision 

Oh you know, yes, I would 

I would hold on to yourself 

In the middle of the night 

I try my best to chase outside 

The phantoms and the ghosts and the fairy-girls 

On 1001 nights like this 

She mutters open sesame and Ali Baba and his forty thieves 

Launch her off the face of the world 

Well, you know 

Oh baby, I'll come back 

And I'll hold on to yourself 

Babe, I'm 1000 miles away 

And I just don't know what to say 

'Cause Jesus only loves a man who bruises 

But darling we can clearly see 

It's all life and fire and lunacy 

And excuses and excuses and excuses 

Well, you know if I could I would 

Yeah, I would lie right down 

And I'd hold on to yourself 

Yeah, I would lie right down 

And I would hold on to yourself 

One day I'll come back to you 

And I'll hold on to yourself 

Yeah, I'm gonna come back 

Gonna lie down 

And I'll hold on to yourself
