Straight To You Lyrics

by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

[Verse 1]
All the towers of ivory are crumbling
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks

[Pre-Chorus 1]
This is the time of our great undoing
This is the time that I'll come running

[Chorus]
Straight to you, for I am captured
Straight to you, for I am captured
One more time

[Verse 2]
Now the light in our window is fading
The candle gutters on the ledge

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing
And I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-running

[Chorus]
Straight to you, for I am captured
Straight to you, for I am captured
Once again

[Verse 3]
Gone are the days of rainbows
And gone are the nights of swinging from the stars

[Pre-Chorus 3]
For the sea will swallow up the mountains
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks

[Chorus]
Straight at you, but I'll come a-running
Straight to you, but I'll come a-running
One more time

[Bridge]
Now heaven has denied us its kingdom
And the saints they're all drunk howling at the moon

[Pre-Chorus 4]
And the chariots of angels are colliding
Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come running

[Chorus]
Straight to you, for I am captured
Straight to you, for I am captured
One more time
