Song by Nick Cave and the Dirty Three<br /><br>

We were called to the forest... when we went down. <br>

A wind blew warm and eloquent <br>

We were searching for the secrets of the universe... <br>

And we rounded up demons and forced them to tell us what it all meant <br>

We tied 'em to trees and broke them down one by one <br>

And on a scrap of paper, they wrote these words... <br>

And as we read them, the sun broke through the trees... <br>

"Dread the passage of Jesus, for he will not return." <br>

Then we headed back to our world and left the forest behind... <br>

Our hearts singin' with all the knowledge of love. <br>

Then somewhere, somehow, we lost the message along the way... <br>

And when we got home, we bought ourselves a house. <br>

And we bought a car that we did not use... <br>

And we bought a cage and two singing birds... <br>

And at night we'd sit and listen to the canary's song. <br>

For we'd both run right out of words... <br>

Now the stars, they are all angled wrong... <br>

And the sun and the moon refuse to burn <br>

But I remember a message in a demon's hand <br>

Dread the passage of Jesus for he does not return... <br>

...he does not return... <br>

...he does not return...<br>

<br>
