Nick Cave - Wife - Текст песни

Here she comes, my wife
See her down on the street
Well, yeah, she's mine, supine
Or up on her feet 

Yeah, here she comes 
Through the dog-breath heat 
With her concertina spine 
And her ballerina feet 

Under a punishing sun
Under a red and green umbrella
Call her name and beat the drum 
Through the condominiums and the favelas 

God is gone. We got to get a new one 
Not lock Him down in cathedrals and cages 
I found the eternal woman 
The fire that leapt from Solomon's pages 

O, baby, here she comes 
My righteous, ringless bride
She is the soul of an ailing continent
She is Latin America's pride 

There she runs, through the rain 
Through cities of packed dirt and bone
She's prepared to accept the burden of the world's great pain

Ah, here she comes
I will love her for all time
In her little, small floral skirt, so short
Defying rhythm, defying rhyme

The cats are crying like babies 
Up and down the alleys 
The kids are howling like cats 
With not enough in their bellies 

Here, she's gaily tripping through the streets 
Cats and kids stop to stare 
The kids all band their guitars 
They shoot their guns into the air 

She don't carry no gun 
Her lips are loaded up with kisses 
She got kisses all around her hips 
She got them criss-crossing her breasts 

Keep playing that song 
Don't let the band go home 
I tell you God is gone 
We are on our own 

Yeah, here she comes 
In a dress of red and yellow 
Up the steps to our home 
I got something to tell her 

I say, I say, b-b-b-b-b-baby! 
Ye-ye-ye-ye-ah! Yea-a-a-a-h! Uh-huh!
0 b-b-b-baby! 
A-a-a-ah here she comes!
