Little Water Song

Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

2

Under here, you just take my breath away

Under here, the water flows over my head

I can hear the little fishes

Under here whispering your most terrible name

Under here, they've given me starfish for eyes

And your head is a big red balloon

Under here, your huge hand is heavy on my chest

Ah, and under here, Sir, your lovely voice retreats

And yes, you take my breath away

Look at my hair, as it waves and waves

Sir, under here, I have such pretty hair

Silver, it is, and filled with silver bubbles

Ah, and under here, my blood will be a cloud

And under here my dreams are made of water

And, Sir, you just take my breath away

For under here, my pretty breasts are piled high

With stones and I cannot breathe

And tiny little fishes enter me

Under here, I am made ready

And under here, I am washed clean

And I glow with the greatness of my hate for you
