Idiot Prayer Lyrics

by Nick Cave The Bad Seed

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
