More News From Nowhere歌词
作词 : Nick Cave
I walk into the corner of my room
See my friends in high places
I don't know which is which or who is whom
They've stolen each other's faces
Janet is there with her high head and hair
And full of bedroom feathers
Janet is known to make dead men groan
In any kind of weather
I crawl over to her
I say, ?Hey baby?,
I say, ?Hey,
JanetYou are the one, you are the sun
And I'm your dutiful planet"But she ain't down with any of that'Cause she's heard that **** beforeAnd I say, ?Oh yeah, you're right?'Cause I see Betty X standing by the doorWith more news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhereAnd it's getting strange in hereYeah, it's getting stranger every yearMore news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhere, alright nowNow Betty X is like Betty Y minus that fatal chromosomeHer hair is like the wine dark sea in which sailors come homeI say, ?Hey baby?, I say, ?Hey, Betty X?I lean close up to her throat"
This light you are carrying is like a lamp hanging from a distant boat""
It is my light," says Betty, Betty X says, "
This light ain't yours"And so much wind blew through her wordsThat I went rolling down the hallFor more news from nowhereMore news from nowhereAnd it's strange in hereYeah, it gets stranger every yearMore news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhereI turn another cornerI go down a corridor and I see this guyHe must be about one hundred foot tallAnd he only has one eyeHe asks me for my autographI write nobody and thenI wrap myself up in my woolly coatAnd I blind him with my pen'Cause someone must have stuck something in my drinkEvery thing's getting strange lookingHalf the people have turned into squealing pigsThe other half are cookingWell, let me out of here I criedAnd I went pushing pastAnd I saw Miss Polly singing with some girlsI cried, struck me to the mastFor more news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhereIt's getting strange in hereAnd it gets stranger every yearMore news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhereWell, then a black girl with no clothes onShe danced across the roomWe charted the progress of the planetsAround that boogie woogie moonI called her my Nubian princessGave her some sweet back fat ass jiveSpent the next seven years between her legsA pining for my wifeBut then by and by it all went wrongI fell washed up on a shoreShe stared down at me from up in the stormAnd I sopped up on the floorFor more news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhereAnd don't it make you feel aloneDon't it make you wanna get right on homeMore news from nowhereMore news from nowhere, let me hear it nowWell, here comes Elena with two black eyesShe's given herself a transfusionShe's filled herself with panda bloodTo avoid all the confusionI say, "
