Heart That Kills You Songtext
von Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

Adam watches his little Eve sleeping in a grief of snow
Not knowing what to do or where to go
He packed his bags for the big city
Or what else lie around, lyin′ there
Coughing up her dreams

Serpents sink inside her with their fangs
And bite her deep, so deep she loved it
"Oh, Adam", she said, "Oh Adam, don't stop"
She said, "Don′t stop, oh, oh, oh"

He said, "No, we cannot stay
Like apples we will drop"
And stepped from the garden into LA


In the end, it is your heart that kills you
And I know that you won't be coming here today
In the end, it is your heart that kills you
It's all wrong but it′s alright, in it′s way

"We are beginning our descent"
Said the tunnelin' the way to LA
Adam leaned across to little Eve
And explained what that meant and handed her the oxygen mask
As she looked out the window
And watched the babies riding in the clouds, turning into clouds

She said, "No, no, no, no, no don′t stop
Oh, Adam, don't, don′t stop, don't stop"
But the tin can turned down and like a little apple dropped
Oh, and into old and angry age


′Cause in the end, it is your heart that kills you
I know that you won't come now
Stay
'Cause in the end, it is your heart that kills you
I know that you won′t come now
Stay
