Tupelo (Live) - Nick Cave
Looka yonder looka yonder
A big black cloud come
A big black cloud come
O comes to tupelo comes to tupelo
Yonder on the horizon
Yonder on the horizon
Stopped at the mighty river
Sucked the damn thing dry
Sucked the damn thing dry
Distant thunder rumble distant thunder rumble
Rumble hungry like the beast
The beast it cometh cometh down
The beast it cometh cometh down
Why the hen wont lay no egg
Can't get that cock to crow
The nag is spooked and crazy
O god help tupelo o god help tupelo
Ya can say these streets are rivers
Ya can call these rivers streets
Ya can tell ya self ya dreaming buddy
But no sleep runs this deep
No no sleep runs this deep
O god help tupelo o god help tupelo
O god help tupelo o god help tupelo
O go to sleep my lil' children
The sandmans on his way
O go to sleep lil' children
The sandmans in his way
But the lil' children know
But the lil' children know
They listen to the beating of their blood
Listen to the beating of their blood
Listen to the beating of their blood
Listen to the beating of their blood
But the lil' children know
Yeah the lil' children know
They listen to the beating of their blood
Listen to the beating of their blood
Listen to the beating of their blood
Listen to the beating of their blood
The sandmans mud
The sandmans mud
The sandmans mud
The sandmans mud
O god help tupelo o god help tupelo
O god help tupelo o god help tupelo
In a clap board shack with a roof of tin
Where the rain came down and leaked within
A young mother frozen on a concrete floor
With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
Well Saturday gives what Sunday steals
Child is born on his brothers heels
Sunday morn the first born dead
Shoebox tied with a ribbon of red
O ma ma rock you lil' one slow
O ma ma rock your baby
O ma ma rock your lil' one slow
O ma ma rock your baby
O ma ma rock your lil' one slow
O ma ma rock your baby
O ma ma rock your lil' one slow
O ma ma rock your baby
To the king will walk on tupelo
To the king will walk on tupelo
To the king will walk on tupelo
To the king will walk on tupelo
To the king will walk on tupelo
Tupelo tupelo
The king will walk on tupelo
Tupelo tupelo
Tupelo tupelo
The king will walk on tupelo
You will reap just what you so
