Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds Albert Goes West lyrics

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
Dig Lazarus Dig
Albert Goes West
Albert he goes west/ he crossed
the vast indifferent deserts of Arizona

he had a psychotic episode on a duede ranch
that involved a bottle of ammonia

henry he went south and lost his way
deep in the weeping forest of le vulva

he grew so wan/ he grew so sick
he ended up in a bungalow/ sucking a revolver

the light upon your rainy streets
offers many reflections

and I won't be held responsible
for my actions

bobby he goes north/ then goes east
then over to new Hampshire

bobby is a cautious man/ he walked into
a Concord dive/ to drink a beer

do you wanna dance??
do you wanna move??

do you wanna dance??
do you wanna GROOVE??

the world is full of
endless abstractions

and I won't be held responsible
for my actions

me/ I ann't going anywhere
just sit and watch the sun come up/ I like it here!

I wathc the people go ticking past/ I go hey hey hey
you know I gotta say/ I like it here!!
