Little Empty Boat — текст песни (Nick Cave)

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 prone
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 pissed
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 fuck 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...
