作词 : Nick Cave

I walk into the corner of my room
See my friends in high places

I don't know which is which or who is whom
They've stolen each other's faces

Janet is there with her high head and hair
And full of bedroom feathers

Janet is known to make dead men groan
In any kind of weather

I crawl over to her
I say hey baby I say hey Janet
You are the one you are the sun
And I'm your dutiful planet
But she ain't down with any of that
Cause she's heard that **** before
And I say oh yeah you're right
Cause I see Betty X standing by the door
With more news from nowhere

Yeah more news from nowhere

And it's getting strange in here

Yeah it's getting stranger every year

More news from nowhere

Yeah more news from nowhere alright now

Now Betty X is like Betty Y minus that fatal chromosome

Her hair is like the wine
Dark sea in which sailors come home

I say hey baby I say hey Betty X
I lean close up to her throat
This light you are carrying is
Like a lamp hanging from a distant boat

It is my light says Betty Betty X says
This light ain't yours
And so much wind blew through her words
That I went rolling down the hall
For more news from nowhere

More news from nowhere

And it's strange in here

Yeah it gets stranger every year

More news from nowhere

Yeah more news from nowhere

I turn another corner
I go down a corridor and I see this guy
He must be about one hundred foot tall
And he only has one eye

He asks me for my autograph
I write nobody and then

I wrap myself up in my woolly coat
And I blind him with my pen
Cause someone must have stuck something in my drink
Every thing's getting strange looking
Half the people have turned into squealing pigs
The other half are cooking
Well let me out of here I cried
And I went pushing past

And I saw Miss Polly singing with some girls
I cried struck me to the mast
For more news from nowhere

Yeah more news from nowhere

It's getting strange in here

And it gets stranger every year

More news from nowhere

Yeah more news from nowhere

Well then a black girl with no clothes on
She danced across the room
We charted the progress of the planets
Around that boogie woogie moon

I called her my Nubian princess
Gave her some sweet back fat ass jive
Spent the next seven years between her legs
A pining for my wife
But then by and by it all went wrong
I fell washed up on a shore

She stared down at me from up in the storm
And I sopped up on the floor
For more news from nowhere

Yeah more news from nowhere

And don't it make you feel alone

Don't it make you wanna get right on home
More news from nowhere

More news from nowhere let me hear it now

Well here comes Elena with two black eyes
She's given herself a transfusion

She's filled herself with panda blood
To avoid all the confusion

I say The sun rises and falls with you
And various things about love
But a rising violence in me cuts all my circuits off
Well Elena she starts screaming
Her cheeks are full of psychotropic leaves

Her extinction was nearly absolute
When she turned her back on me
For more news from nowhere

I said more news from nowhere

And it's getting strange in here

Yeah it gets stranger every year

More news from nowhere

Yeah more news from nowhere alright alright

I bump and crash into Deanna
Hanging pretty in the door frame

All the horrors that have befallen me
Well Deanna is to blame

Every time I see you baby
You make me feel so unalone

And I wipe my face into her dress
Long after she'd gone home
With more news from nowhere

Yeah more news from nowhere

And don't it make you feel alone

Yeah and don't it make you wanna get right back home
More news from nowhere

Yeah more news from nowhere alright

And don't it make you feel so sad
Don't the blood rush to your feet

To think that everything you do today
Tomorrow is obsolete

Technology and women

And little children too
Don't it make you feel blue

Don't it make you feel blue

For more news from nowhere

With more news from nowhere

Don't it make you feel alone

Yeah and don't it make you wanna get right back home
More news from nowhere

Yeah more news from nowhere one last time

Well I gotta say

Yeah I gotta say

Goodbye goodbye goodbye
