[00:00.00]Rings Of Saturn - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
[00:13.23]Upside down and inside out in marries
[00:16.38]You're like a funnel web
[00:17.44]Like a black fly on the ceiling
[00:20.06]Skinny white haunches high in the sky
[00:22.42]And a black oily gash crawling backwards across
[00:25.84]The carpet to smash all over everything
[00:28.94]Wet black fur against the sun going down
[00:32.46]Over the shops and the cars and the crowds in the town
[00:39.24]And this is the moment this is exactly where she is born to be
[00:45.04]Now this is what she does and this is what she is
[00:50.99]And this is the moment this is exactly where she is born to be
[00:55.80]This is what she does and this is what she is
[01:16.57]Her eyes that look at me through a rainy hair
[01:19.44]Two round holes where the air buckles and rushes in
[01:23.37]Her body moon blue was a jellyfish
[01:25.97]And I'm breathing deep and I'm there and I'm also not there
[01:29.65]And spurting ink over the sheets but she remains
[01:33.13]Completely unexplained
[01:35.04]Or maybe I'm just too tongue tied to drink it up
[01:37.89]And swallow back the pain
[01:40.60]I thought slavery had been abolished
[01:43.03]How come it's gone and reared its ugly head again
[01:49.09]And this is the moment this is exactly what she is born to be
[01:54.75]And this is what she does and this is what she is
[02:01.07]And this is the moment this is exactly what she is born to be
[02:05.90]This is what she is and this is what she does
[02:26.38]And this is the moment this is exactly what she is born to be
[02:32.50]And this is what she does and this is what she is
[02:39.12]And this is the moment this is exactly what she is born to be
[02:45.23]Then this is what she does and this is what she is
[02:51.41]And now she's jumping up with her leaping brain
[02:53.96]Stepping over heaps of sleeping children
[02:56.81]Disappearing and further up and spinning out again
[03:00.03]Up and further up she goes up and out of the bed
[03:03.98]Up and out of the bed and down the hall where she stops
[03:06.77]For moment and turns and says
[03:08.95]Are you still here
[03:10.51]And then reaches high and dangles herself like
[03:13.71]A child's dream from the rings of saturn
