Lament Lyrics by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds

Lament Lyrics

    I've seen your fairground hair,
    Your seaside eyes
    Your vampire tooth, your little truth
    Your tiny lies

    I know your trembling hand, your guilty prize
    Your sleeping limbs, your foreign hymns
    Your midnight cries

    So dry your eyes
    And turn your head away
    Now there's nothing more to say
    Now you're gone away

    I know your trail of tears, your slip of hand
    Your monkey paw, your monkey claw
    And your monkey hand

    I've seen your trick of blood, your trap of fire
    Your ancient wound, your scarlet moon
    And your jailhouse smile

    So dry your eyes
    And turn your head away
    Now there's nothing more to say
    Now you're gone away

    I'll miss your urchin smile, your orphan tears
    Your shining prize, your tiny cries
    Your little fears
    I'll miss your fairground hair, your seaside eyes
    Your vampire tooth, your little truth
    And your tiny lies

    So dry your eyes
    And turn your head away
    Now there's nothing more to say
    Now you're gone away
    (repeat)
