Nineveh Songtext
von Steve Kilbey

I got a biblical baby
She roamed through the reeds
Finds baby Moses in a bar
I parted her sea
I swam through her hair
Let′s go to Nineveh
It isn't that far

Nineveh
I want to hold you
Just like I told you
I′ll never walk these streets again now
Nineveh
I want to follow you
I want to swallow you whole
Never fill this hole in me now


I got hieroglyph letters
And Jericho jitters
'Cause my baby went to Babylon
Sodom and Gomorrah
Let's leave ′em for tomorrow
′Cause Nineveh
Is the only one

Nineveh
I want to hold you
Just like I told you
I'll never walk these streets again now
Nineveh
I want to follow you
I want to swallow you whole
Never fill this hole in me now

I knew a little teenybopper
The mother lived in Joppa
So we′re going up to Lebanon
Gonna see the sights
With some friendly Hittites
And Nineveh
Is open all night


Nineveh
I want to hold you
Just like I told you
I'll never walk these streets again now
Nineveh
I want to follow you
I want to swallow you whole
Never fill this hole in me now

Nineveh
I want to hold you
Just like I told you
I′ll never walk these streets again now
Nineveh
I want to follow you
I want to swallow you whole
Never fill this hole in me now
