Idiot Prayer Lyrics - The Boatman's Call - Nick Cave

They're taking me down, my friend 

And as they usher me off to my end 

Will I bid you adieu? 

Or will I be seeing you soon? 

If what they say around here is true 

Then we'll meet again 

Me and you 

My time is at hand, my dove 

They're gonna pass me to that house above 

Is heaven just for victims, dear? 

Where only those in pain go? 

Well it takes two to tango 

We will meet again, my love 

I know 

If you're in heaven then you'll forgive me, dear 

Because that's what they do up there 

If you're in hell, then what can I say 

You probably deserved in anyway 

I guess I'm gonna find out any day 

For we'll meet again 

And there'll be hell to pay 

Your face comes to me from the depths, dear 

Your silent mouth mouths, 'yes', dear 

Dark red and big with blood 

They're gonna shut me down, my love 

They're gonna launch me into the stars 

Well, all things come to pass 

Glory hallelujah
