Tupelo - Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
Looka yonder looka yonder
Looka yonder a big black cloud come
Yonder on the horizon
Yonder on the horizon
Stopped at the mighty river
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
The beast it cometh cometh down
Tupelo bound tupelo-o-o yeah tupelo
The beast it cometh tupelo bound
Why the hen wont lay no egg
Cant 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 comes to tupelo O comes to tupelo
O comes to tupelo O comes to tupelo
O go to sleep lil children
The sandmans on his way
O go to sleep lil children The sandmans on his way
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
And the black rain come down
The black rain come down
Water water everywhere
Where no bird can fly no fish can swim
No fish can swim
Until the king is born
Until the king is born
In tupelo
Til the king is born in 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
Tupelo-o-o o tupelo
With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
Well saturday gives what sunday steals
And a child is born on his brothers heels
Come sunday morn the first-born dead
In a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red
Tupelo-o-o hey tupelo
In a shoebox buried 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 God help tupelo o God help tupelo
The black rain come down
The black rain come down
Til the king is born in tupelo
Til the king is born in tupelo
Til the king is born in tupelo
Til the king is born in tupelo
Til the king is born in tupelo
Til the king is born in tupelo
Tupelo tupelo
Til the king is born in tupelo tupelo
Til the king is born in tupelo tupelo
Rock you lil one slow
Tupelo
