Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Supernaturally lyrics

rate me

Through the windswept coastal trees

Where the dead come rising from the sea

With a teddy-bear clamped between her knees

She says, where can my loverman be?

Well, I'm down here, babe, with the Eskimos With the polar bears and the Arctic snow

With a party of penguins who do not know flow

How I can get back to thee

Well I'm gonna ask you, babe

Hey! Ho!

Oh baby don't you go

Hey! Ho!

Oh no no no

Hey! Ho!

Oh baby, don't you go

All supernatural on me

Supernaturally

Once I was your hearts desire

Now I am the ape hunkered by the fire

With my knuckles dragging through the mire

You float by so majestically

You're my north, my south, my east, my west

You are the girl that I love best

With an army of tanks bursting from your chest

I wave my little white flag at thee

Can you see it, babe?

Hey! Ho!

Oh baby don't you go

Hey! Ho!

Oh no no no

Hey! Ho!

Oh baby, don't you go

All supernatural on me

Supernaturally

Now I've turned the mirrors to wall

I've emptied out the peopled halls

I've nailed shut the windows and locked the doors

There is no escape, you see

I chase you up and down the stairs

Under tables and over chairs

I reach out and I touch your hair

And it cuts me like a knife

For there is always something

other little thing you gotta do

Hey! Ho!

Oh baby don't you go

Hey! Ho!

Oh baby, no no no

Hey! Ho!

Oh don't you go

All supernatural on me

Supernaturally
