Nick Cave - Deep in the woods

The woods eats the woman and dumps her honey-body in the mud Her dress floats down the well and it assumes the shape of the body of a little girl Yeah I recognize that girl She stumbled in some time last loneliness But I could not stand to touch her now My one and onlyness. Deep in the woods Deep in the woods Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging. Worms make their cruel design Saying D-I-E into her skin Saying DEAD into belly and DEATH into shoulder Well last night she kissed me but than DEATH was upon her. Deep in the woods Deep in the woods Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging. Now the killed waits for the killer And the trees all nod their heads, they are agreed This knife feels like a knife feels like a knife that feels like it's feed. Yeah I recognize that girl I took her from rags right through to stitches (pray for me now) Oh baby, tonight we sleep in separate ditches. Deep in the woods Deep in the woods Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging. Love is for fools and all fools are lovers It's raining on my house and none of the others Love is for fools and God knows I'm still one The sidewalks are filled with love's lonely children The sidewalk regrets that we had to kill them.
