Rings Of Saturn Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Upside down and inside out [?] 

You're like a funnel-web 

Like a black fly on the ceiling 

Skinny, white haunches high in the sky 

And a black oily gash crawling backwards across the carpet to smash all over everything 

Wet, black fur against the sun going down 

Over the shops and the cars and the crowds in the town 

And this is the moment, this is exactly where she is born to be 

Now this is what she does and this is what she is 

And this is the moment, this is exactly where she is born to be 

This is what she does and this is what she is

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

Her eyes that look at me through a rainy hair 

Two round holes where the air buckles and rushes in 

Her body, moon blue, was a jellyfish 

And I'm breathing deep and I'm there and I'm also not there 

And spurting ink over the sheets but she remains, completely unexplained 

Or maybe I'm just too tongue-tied to drink it up and swallow back the pain 

I thought slavery had been abolished 

How come it's gone and reared its ugly head again? 

And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be 

And this is what she does and this is what she is 

And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be 

This is what she is and this is what she does 

And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be 

And this is what she does and this is what she is 

And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be 

Then this is what she does and this is what she is 

And now she's jumping up with her leaping brain 

Stepping over heaps of sleeping children 

Disappearing and further up and spinning out again 

Up and further up she goes, up and out of the bed 

Up and out of the bed and down the hall where she stops for moment and turns and says 

"Are you still here?" 

And then reaches high and dangles herself like a child's dream from the rings of Saturn
