Swing Low Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

How is little Thomas McGee? 

Thomas McGee, he swallowed a key 

did he die, little Thomas McGee? 

Holly, Holly just let him be 

he's wiser now, little Thomas McGee 

Called this kid on the telephone 

heart was beating in my chest 

I needed something I could not digest 

and the phone kept ringing 

there's no one home 

Ran to his house, rapped on the window 

blood was pumping much to fast 

stuck my fingers through the glass 

strange music playing on the radio

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

swing low 

swing low 

swing low 

swing low 

way down low 

and carry me home 

Pray like Peter, preach like Paul 

Jesus died to save us all 

I climbed through the window 

I crawled on the floor 

I ripped off all the furniture 

but I still couldn't find what i was looking for 

Problems to you we claim as our own 

cannot be solved they must be outgrown 

the bottomless knowledge that can not be known 

the empty ringing of the telephone 

and the strange music playing on the radio 

swing low 

swing low 

swing low 

swing low 

way down low 

and carry me home 

where do you go, where do you go 

swing low baby save my soul 

where do you, where do you 

swing low, baby, save my soul 

swing low 

swing low 

swing low 

swing low
