Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Lament lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] So dry your eyes And turn your head away Now there's nothing more to say Now you're gone away [Verse 2] I know your trail of tears, your slip of hand Your monkey claw, your monkey paw 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 [Chorus] So dry your eyes And turn your head away Now there's nothing more to say Now you're gone away [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] So dry your eyes And turn your head away Now there's nothing more to say Now you're gone away
