Idiot Prayer

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

They're taking me down, my friend
 And as they uskher me off to my end
 Will I bid you adieu?
 Or will I be seeing you soon?
 If what they say around here is true
 Then we'll meet again
 Me and you

My time is at hand, my dove
 They're gunna pass me to that house above
 Is Heaven just for victims, dear?
 Where only those in pain go?
 Well it takes two to tango
 We will meet again, my love
 I know

If you're in Heaven then you'll forgive me, dear
 Because that's what they do up there
 If you're in Hell, then what can I say
 You probably deserved in anyway
 I guess I'm gunna find out any day
 For we'll meet again
 And there'll be Hell to pay

Your face comes to me from the depths, dear
 Your silent mouth mouths, 'Yes", dear
 Dark red and big with blood
 They're gunna shut me down, my love
 They're gunna launch me into the stars
 Well, all things come to pass
 Glory hallelujah

This prayer is for you, my love
 Sent on the wings of a dove
 An idiot prayer of empty words
 Love, dear, is strictly for the birds
 We each get what we deserve
 My little snow white dove
 Rest assured
