Hell Villanelle Songtext
von Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

There′s more paradise in hell than we've been told
Every step we take, we start from blue
Lie down and bleed into the water hole

That′s what you came for
Isn't it?

And so the night in time, it will unfold
Curled up inside my palm and sleeping too
There's more paradise in hell than we′ve been told

That′s what you came for, isn't it?
Isn′t it?


From your lashes tumbles small stars of gold
Star lashes, little splashes of dew
Spill across the world and through my soul
Come on

It's what you came for, isn′t it?

Call your tiny animals to the drinking hole
Little cat, little bear, little fire horse, little kangaroo
There's more paradise in hell than we′ve been told

That's what you came for, isn't it?
That′s what you came for, isn′t it?
That's what you came for, isn′t it?
That's what you came for

Little cat, little fire horse with a shivering foal
