Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Nocturama Lyrics

I passed by silent tigers The ailing ape The forgotten llama The penguin face down in the water I retreat into the nocturama When will I ever be your husband? When will you ever be my bride? When will you take me from this place With hope and hopelessness collide? To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side Again and again Baby I'm not that strong I got a chain around my ankle And it's dragging me down Oh nothing moves behind the glass Deep inside this artificial night The tiny eyes blink from the darkness Saying everything will be alright It'll be alright It'll be alright It'll be alright It'll be alright To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side But again and again Baby I'm not that tough When night falls round here It's never not enough To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side To be by your side Well it will be alright It'll be alright It'll be alright It'll be alright To be by your side To be by your side
