Lawless Album (Nick Cave & The Bootleggers & Warren Ellis)

Come walk with me through the pines
In the morning sun.
The birds are singing in the pines
In the morning sun.


Come stand with me, my darling one,
Among the trembling pines.
We feel His presence all around
Fire in the sky.


You can’t hold me, I’m too slippy,
I do no sleeping, I get lonely
You can touch me if you want to,
I got poison, just might bite you.


Lie in circle on the sunlight
Shine like diamonds on a dark night.
Ain’t no mercy in my smilin',
Only fangs and sweet beguiling


Future, he don’t try to find me
Skin I’ve been through dies behind me
Solid hollow wrapped in hatred,
Not a drop of poison wasted.


You can slip and try to find me
Hold your breath and flat deny me
Makes no difference to my thinkin'
I’ll be here and you start sinkin'.
