Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Ca**iel's Song lyrics

We've come to bring you home Haven't we, ca**iel? To cast aside your loss and all your sadness And shuffle off that mortal coil and mortal madness For we're here to pick you up and bring you home Aren't we, ca**iel? It's a place where you did not belong Were time itself was mad and far too strong Where life leapt up laughing and hit you head on And hurt you, didn't it hurt you, ca**iel? While time outran you and trouble flew toward you, And you were there to greet it, Weren't you, foolish ca**iel? But here we are, we've come to call you home And here you'll stay never more to stray Where you can kick off your boots of clay Can't you, ca**iel? For d**h and you did recklessly collide And time ran out of you And you ran out of time, Didn't you, ca**iel? And all the clocks, in all the world May this once just skip a beat in memory of you Then again those damn clocks, they probably won't Will they, ca**iel? One moment you are there and then strangely you are gone, But on behalf of all of us here we are glad to have you home Aren't we, dear ca**iel?
