Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds "Hold On To Yourself" lyrics

Translation to:fr

Hold On To Yourself

I'm so far away from youPacing up and down my roomDoes Jesus only love a man who loses?I turn on the radioThere's some cat on the saxophoneLaying down a litany of excusesThere's madhouse longing in my baby's eyesShe rubs the lamp between her thighsAnd hopes the genie comes out singingShe lives in some forgotten songAnd moves like she is zombie-strongBreathes steady as the pendulum keeps swinging

You better hold on to yourself

Well, cities rust and fall to ruinFactories close and cars go cruisingIn around the borders of her visionShe says oohAs Jesus makes the flowers growAll around the scene of her collision

You know I would, yes, I wouldI would hold on to yourself

In the middle of the nightI try my best to chase outsideThe phantoms and the ghosts and fairy-girlsOn 1001 nights like theseShe mutters open sesame and Ali Baba and his forty thievesLaunch her off the face of the world

You know one day I'll come back and I'd hold on to yourselfTo yourself, I'd hold on to yourself

Ooh baby, I'm a 1000 miles awayAnd I just don't know what to sayCause Jesus only loves a man who bruisesBut darling, we can clearly seeIt's all life and fire and lunacyAnd excuses and excuses and excuses

Well, you know if I could, I wouldI'd lie right down and I'd hold on to yourselfYeah, I would lie right down and I would hold on to yourselfOne day I'll come back to you and I'd hold on to yourselfYeah, I'm gonna come back, gonna lie downAnd I would hold on to yourselfYeah, to yourself
