Idiot Prayer Lyrics by Nick Cave

Idiot Prayer Lyrics

    They're taking me down, my friend
    And as they usher me off to my end
    Will I bid you adieu?
    Or will I be seeing you soon?
    If what they say around here is true
    Then we'll meet again
    Me and you

    My time is at hand, my dove
    They're gonna pass me to that house above
    Is Heaven just for victims, dear?
    Where only those in pain go?
    Well it takes two to tango
    We will meet again, my love
    I know

    If you're in Heaven then you'll forgive me, dear
    Because that's what they do up there
    If you're in Hell, then what can I say
    You probably deserved in anyway
    I guess I'm gonna find out any day
    For we'll meet again
    And there'll be Hell to pay

    Your face comes to me from the depths, dear
    Your silent mouth mouths, 'Yes', dear
    Dark red and big with blood
    They're gonna shut me down, my love
    They're gonna launch me into the stars
    Well, all things come to pass
    Glory hallelujah

    This prayer is for you, my love
    Sent on the wings of a dove
    An idiot prayer of empty words
    Love, dear, is strictly for the birds
    We each get what we deserve
    My little snow white dove
    Rest assured
