作曲 : Nick Cave/Warren Ellis
The sun is high up in the sky and I'm in my car
Drifting down into the abattoir

Do you see what I see, dear
The air grows heavy
I listen to your breath
Entwined together in this culture of death

Do you see what I see, dear
Slide on over here, let me give you a squeeze
To avert this unholy evolutionary trajectory
Can you hear what I hear, babe
Does it make you feel afraid

Everything's dissolving, babe
according to plan

The sky is on fire
the dead are heaped across the land

I went to bed last night and my
moral code got jammed

I woke up this morning with a Frappucino in my hand

I kissed you once. I kissed you again

My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange

Do you feel what I feel, dear
Mass extinction, darling, hypocrisy
These things are not good for me

Do you see what I see, dear

The line the God throws down to you and me

Makes a pleasing geometry
Shall we leave this place now, dear
Is there someway out of here

I wake with the sparrows and I hurry off to work
The need for validation, babe
gone completely
berserk
I wanted to be your Superman
but I turned out such a jerk
I got the abattoir blues

I got the abattoir blues

I got the abattoir blues

Right down to my shoes
