Vixo Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Ah fed Vixo on ev'ry fear 'n' fret 'n' phobia 

Til it nor ah could stand the strain no longer 

Sucked a chicken bone, tossed it in the corner 

Raisin up like Lazaurs, up, up from its cot 

An making for the door, now... 

Infant-prodigy creates a phantom-friend, yeag 

Stickin' sack an ol' Jack-Jack into its itchin-ten 

Oh! Don't ya linger! Ooh! Don't ya linger, now, 

Mah monster-piect...mah perfect-murder-machine 

Don't ya linger, for ah can feel mah youth slipping outa me 

Yeah, ah can feel mah youth slip outa me. 

Call it, Call it Vixo. Call it Vee. 

ah all it, an it comes to me. 

Call it Vixo. Call it me 

March headlong into the heart of fear 

Ah will follow thee. 

What kept ya? Whaa? What kept ya? 

You get trouble? Sum'n go wrong? 

Vixo grinning, climbs up into mah lil boy arms. 

What you get? 

Tell me, what ya gone 'n' brung me from the hollow? 

Yeah! We're laughin'...but our laughter is shallow 

Ain't it funny...my childhood name is Sorrow. 

Vixo sighs, 'n' lays its head upon mah pillow. 

Call it. Call it Vixo. Call it Vee. 

Call it, an it comes to me. 

Vee...ah...Hex...Oh-oh, come crawl with me. 

Into the dark heart of despair 

Ah will not forsake thee. 

Listen...Instruction! 

Ditch it, Pitch it. Now hitch it up along the ridge 

Ya laughin b'neath the Sherriff's wheels 

That go screamin cross Hooper Bridge 

Skirt the out-skirts. Up mah back-stair. Ya sack all undone. 

Don't touch nothin! Water runnin in the tub 

Get there! and scrub ev'ry one. 

When ya STRUCK ya STRUCK! 

Ya struck a thousand crickets dumb 

Hooper-Hollow iced over then, all hush, hush 

In the cool midday sun 

Hush! Ah say Hush! Hu-u-u-ush! 

Sittin on the roof, laugh at mahself 

As they rope off the woods 

Watchin' all the good-people 

go beating the bush.
