Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Lyrics

11. More News From Nowhere

I walk into the corner of my room 
See my friends in high places 
I don't know which is which or who is whom 
They've stolen each other's faces 
Janet is there with her high head and hair 
Full of bedroom feathers 
Janet is known to make dead men groan 
In any kind of weather 
I crawl over to her 
I say hey baby 
I say hey Janet 
You are the one, you are the sun 
And I'm your dutiful planet 
But she ain't down with any of that 
'Cause she's heard that shit before 
And I say uh huh, oh yeah you're right 
'cause I see Betty X standing by the door 

With more news from nowhere 
Yeah more news from nowhere 

And it's getting strange in here 
Yeah it's getting stranger every year 

More news from nowhere 
Yeah more news from nowhere 
Alright now 

Now Betty X is like Betty Y minus that fatal chromosome 
Her hair is like the wine dark sea in which sailors come home 
I say hey baby I say hey Betty X 
I lean close up to her throat 
This light you are carrying is like a lamp 
Hanging from a distant boat 
It is my light says Betty 
Betty x says this light ain't yours 
And so much wind blew through her words 
That I went rolling down the hall 

For more news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere, uh huh huh 
And it's strange in here 
Yeah it gets stranger every year 
More news from nowhere 
Yeah more news from nowhere, uh huh huh 

I turn another corner 
I go down a corridor 
And I see this guy 
He must be about one hundred foot tall 
And he only has one eye 
He asks me for my autograph 
I write nobody and then 
I wrap myself up in my woolly coat 
And I blind him with my pen 
'Cause someone must have stuck something in my drink 
Everything's getting strange lookin' 
Half the people have turned into squealing pigs 
The other half are cooking 
Well let me out of here I cried 
And I went pushing past 
And I saw Miss Polly singing with some girls 
I cried struck me to the mast 

For more news from nowhere 
Yeah more news from nowhere, uh huh huh 
It's getting strange in here 
And it gets stranger every year 
More news from nowhere 
Yeah more news from nowhere 

Well then a black girl with no clothes on 
She danced across the room 
We charted the progress of the planets 
Around that boogie woogie moon 
I called her my nubian princess 
Gave her some sweet back fatass jive 
Spent the next seven years between her legs 
A-pining for my wife 
But then by and by it all went wrong 
I fell washed up on a shore 
She stared down at me from up in the storm 
And I sopped up on the floor 

For more news from nowhere 
Yeah more news from nowhere uh huh huh 
And don't it make you feel alone 
Don't it make you wanna get right on home 
More news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere, let me hear it now 

Well here comes Elena with two black eyes 
She's given herself a transfusion 
She's filled herself with panda blood 
To avoid all the confusion 
I say the sun rises and falls with you 
And various things about love 
But a rising violence in me cuts all my circuits off 
Well Elena she starts screaming 
Her cheeks are full of psychotropic leaves 
Her extinction was nearly absolute 
When she turned her back on me 

For more news from nowhere 
I said more news from nowhere 
And it's getting strange in here 
Yeah it gets stranger every year 
More news from nowhere 
Yeah more news from nowhere, 
Alright 
Alright 

I bump and crash into Deanna 
hanging pretty in the door frame 
All the horrors that have befallen me 
Well Deanna is to blame 
Every time I se you baby 
you make me feel so unalone 
And I wipe my face into her dress 
Long after she'd gone home 

With more news from nowhere 
Yeah more news from nowhere 
And don't it make you feel alone 
Yeah and don't it make you wanna get right back home 
More news from nowhere 
Yeah more news from nowhere 
Alright 

And don't it make you feel so sad 
Don't the blood rush to your feet 
To think that everything you do today 
Tomorrow is obsolete 
Technology and women 
And little children too 
Don't it make you feel blue 
Don't it make you feel blue 

For more news from nowhere 
With more news from nowhere 
Don't it make you feel alone 
Yeah and don't it make you wanna get right back home 
More news from nowhere 
Yeah more news from nowhere 
One last time. 

Well I gotta say 
Yeah I gotta say 
Goodbye. 
Goodbye. 
Goodbye.
