Stranger Than Kindness - Live from KCRW
Blixa Bargeld, Anita Lane
[Verse 1]
Stranger than kindness
Bottled light from hotels
Spilling everything
Wet hand from the volcano
It's sobers your skin
Stranger than kindness
[Verse 2]
You caress yourself
And grind my soft cold bones below
Your map of desire
Burned in your flesh
Even a fool can come
A strange lit stair
And find a rope hanging there
Stranger than kindness
[Verse 3]
Keys rain like heaven's hair
There is no home, there is no bread
We sit at the gate and scratch
The gaunt fruit of passion
Dies in the light
Stranger than kindness
[Verse 4]
Your sleeping hands journey
They loiter
Stranger than kindness
You hold me so carelessly close
Tell me I'm dirty
I'm a stranger
I'm a stranger
I'm a stranger to... to kindness
[Spoken: Nick Cave]
Thank you, thank you!
