Magneto Lyrics - Nick Cave

Mostly I never knew which way was out 

Once it was on, it was on and that was that 

The umbilicus was a force that they'd found in rabid blood 

Then I spin on my wheel like a laboratory rat 

I was an electrical storm on the bathroom floor, clutching the bowl 

My blood was for the gags and other people's diseases 

My monstrous little memory had swallowed me whole 

It was the year I officially became the bride of Jesus 

In love, in love, in love you laugh 

In love you move, I move and one more time with feeling 

For love, you love, I laugh, you love 

Saw you in heart and the stars are splashed across the ceiling 

Oh, the urge to kill somebody was basically overwhelming 

I had such hard blues down there in the supermarket queues 

And I had a sudden urge to become someone, someone like you 

Who started out with less than anyone I ever knew 

In love, in love, I love, you love, I laugh, you love 

I move, you move and one more time with feeling 

I love, you love, I laugh, you love 

I'm sewn in heart and all the stars are splashed 'cross the ceiling 

Oh, and oh, you come shining 

Softly to the hold of a drink 

Come as far as the edge of my blood and swim 

And in the bathroom mirror I see me vomit in the sink 

And all through the house we hear the hyena's hymns 

Of love, I love, you love, I love, you love, I laugh, you love 

I move, you move, you move, and one more time with feeling 

I love, you love, I laugh, you love 

We saw each other in heart and all the stars have splashed and splattered 'cross the ceiling
