Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Wild God (Lyric Video)

Pass me that lovely little gun

My dear, my darling one

The cleaners are coming, one by one

You don't even wanna let them start

They're knocking now upon your door

They measure the room, they know the score

They're mopping up the butcher's floor

Of your broken little hearts

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, children

Forgive us now for what we've done

It started out as a bit of fun

Here, take these before we run away

The keys to the gulag

Oh, children

(Lift up your voice) lift up your voice

Children

(Rejoice) rejoice

Come on, come on

Come on, come on

Here comes Frank and poor old Jim

They're gathering 'round with all my friends

We're older now and the light is dim

And you are only just beginning

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, children

We have the answer to all your fears

It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear

It's round about and it's somewhere here

Lost amongst our winnings

Oh, children

(Lift up your voice) lift up your voice

Children

(Rejoice) rejoice

The cleaners have done their job on you

They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove

They've hosed you down, you're good as new

And they're lining up to inspect you

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, children

Poor old Jim's white as a ghost

He's found the answer that we lost

We're all weeping now, weeping because

There ain't nothing we can do to protect you

Oh, children

Lift up your voice, lift up your voice

Children

Rejoice (rejoice)

Hey, little train, we're jumping on

The train that goes to the Kingdom

We're happy, ma, we're having fun

The train ain't even left the station

Hey, little train, wait for me

I once was blind, but now I see
