Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds — Messiah Ward

I hope you're sitting comfortably I saved you the best seat in the house right up in the front row The stars have been torn down and the moon is locked away The land is banked in frozen snow You are a force of nature, dear And your breath curls from your lips And the trees bend down their branches To touch you with their fingertips [Chorus] They're bringin' out the dead now It's easy, well, just to look away They are bringin' out the dead now It's been a strange, strange day We could navigate our position by the stars But they've taken out the stars Well the stars have all gone And I'm glad you've come along We could comprehend our condition by the moon But they've ordered the moon not to shine Still, I'm glad you've come along I was worried out of my mind [Chorus] 'Cause they keep bringin' out the dead now And it's easy just to look away They're bringin' out the dead And it's been a long, strange day You can move up a little closer I'll throw a blanket over We can weigh all the tears in one hand Against the laughter in the other We could be hangin' 'round for centuries Trying to make sense of this, my dear While the planets try to get organized Way above the stratosphere [Chorus] But they keep bringin' out the dead, now And it's easy if we just walk away 'Cause they keep bringin' out the dead, now It's been a long, long day Look away Look away
