Jesus Of The Moon Lyrics - Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

I stepped out of the St. James Hotel 

I left you behind curled up like a child 

A change is gonna come as the door whispered shut 

I walked on down the high windowed hall 

You lay sleeping on the unmade bed 

The weatherman on the television in the St. James Hotel said 

That the rains are gonna come and I stepped out on the streets 

All sparkling clean with the early morning dew 

Maybe it was you or maybe it was me? 

You came on like a punch in the heart 

Lying there with the light on your hair 

Like a Jesus of the moon, a Jesus of the planets and the stars 

Well, I kept thinking about what the weatherman said 

And if the voices of the living can be heard by the dead 

Well, the day is gonna come when we find out 

In some kind of way I take a little comfort from that now and then 

'Cause people often talk about being scared of change 

But for me I'm more afraid of things staying the same 

'Cause the game is never won 

By standing in any one place for too long 

Maybe it was you or maybe it was me? 

There's a chord in you that I could not find to strike 

You lying there with all the light in your hair 

Like a Jesus of the moon, a Jesus of the planets and the stars 

I see the many girls walking down the empty streets 

Maybe once or twice one of them smiles at me 

You can't blame anyone for saying hello 

I say hey, I say hello, I say hello 

Will it be me or will it be you? 

One must stay and one depart 

You lying there in the St. James Hotel bed 

Like a Jesus of the moon, a Jesus of the planets and the stars 

I say hello, hello, hello
