Abbatoir Blues - Nick Cave

The sun is high up in the sky and I'm in my car

Drifting down into the abattoir

Do you see what I see dear

The air grows heavy

I listen to your breath

Entwined together in this culture of death

Do you see what I see dear

Slide on over here let me give you a squeeze

To avert this unholy evolutionary trajectory

Can you hear what I hear babe

Does it make you feel afraid

Everything's dissolving babe

According to plan

The sky is on fire

The dead are heaped across the land

I went to bed last night and my

Moral code got jammed

I woke up this morning with a Frappucino in my hand

I kissed you once I kissed you again

My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange

Do you feel what I feel dear

Mass extinction darling hypocrisy

These things are not good for me

Do you see what I see dear

The line the God throws down to you and me

Makes a pleasing geometry

Shall we leave this place now dear

Is there someway out of here

I wake with the sparrows and I hurry off to work

The need for validation babe

Gone completely

Berserk

I wanted to be your Superman

But I turned out such a jerk

I got the abattoir blues

I got the abattoir blues

I got the abattoir blues

Right down to my shoes
