King Sized Nick Cave Blues

Born in a puddle of virgin's blood wanting everything
The blood was my own pumping from my infant heart
I weighed myself and found myself wanting, wanting everything
Wanting everything is the thing that eventually tears you apart
Spend my days pushing Elvis' belly up Sirius' steep hills
Wanting everything is the everything that eventually kills
In the morning I attach my king sized shadow to my heels
Without my shadow I don't know just how the other half feels

And I say, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, yeah this time
I say hello, hello, hello, I say hello, hello, yeah this time

To stand in the dressing room with a mushroom cloud for a head
My king sized cock sticks out like I saw from a man along from a hotel bed
I wonder who I have to blow around here to get ahead
Wanting everything is the everything that eventually kills you dead

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know yeah, this time
I say hello, hello, hello, I say hello, hello, yeah this time

These king sized tears do not come free but beyond me
Drowning my eyes with floods of unexpected memories
Of a time of wanting, wanting it all, wanting everything
Yeah, stop now please you are not, well don't you see

And I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, I say goodbye, goodbye yeah, this time
I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, I say goodbye, goodbye yeah, this time
