lirik lagu nick cave the bad seeds - little empty boat
you found me at some party
you thought i’d understand
you barreled over to me
with a drink in each hand
i respect your beliefs, girl,
and i consider you a friend,
but i’ve already been born once,
i don’t wanna to be born again.
your knowledge is impressive
and your argument is good
but i am the resurrection, babe,
and you’re standing on my foot!
but my little boat is empty
it don’t go
and my oar is broken
it don’t row, row, row
but my little boat is empty
it don’t go
and my oar is broken
it don’t row, row, row
(row!)
your tiny little face
keeps yapping in the gloom
seven steps behind me
with your dustpan and broom.
i couldn’t help but imagine you
all postured and pr-ne
but there’s a little guy on my shoulder
says i should go home alone.
you keep leaning in on me
and you’re looking pretty p-ssed
that grave you’ve dug between your legs
is hard to resist.
but my little boat is empty
it don’t go
and my oar is broken
it don’t row, row, row
but my little boat is empty
it don’t go
and my oar is broken
it don’t row, row, row
give to god what belongs to god
and give the rest to me
tell our gracious host to f-ck himself
it’s time for us to leave.
but my little boat is empty
it don’t go
and my oar is broken
it don’t row, row, row
but my little boat is empty
it don’t go
and my oar is broken
it don’t row, row, row
row… row… row… row…
