Water's Edge-Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds+Lyrics <br />They take apart their bodies like toys for the local boys <br />Because they're always there at the edge of the water <br />They come from the capital these city girls <br />Go way down where the stones meet the sea <br />And all you young girls, where do you hide? <br />Down by the water and the restless tide <br /> <br />And the local boys hide on the mound and watch <br />Reaching for the speech and the word to be heard <br />And the boys grow hard, hard to be heard <br />Hard to be heard as they reach for the speech <br />And search for the word on the water's edge <br />But you grow old and you grow cold <br />Yeah you grow old and you grow cold <br /> <br />And they would come in their hoards these city girls <br />With white strings flowing from their ears <br />As the local boys behind the mound think long and hard <br />About the girls from the capital <br />Who dance at the water's edge <br />Shaking their asses <br />And all you young lovers <br />Where do you hide? <br />Down by the water and the restless tide <br /> <br />With a bible of tricks they do with their legs <br />The girls reach for the speech and the speech to be heard <br />To be hard the local boys teem down the mound <br />And seize the girls from the capital <br />Who shriek at the edge of the water <br />Shriek to speak and reach for the speech <br />Yeah reach for the speech and be heard <br />But you grow old and you grow cold <br />Yeah you grow old and you grow cold <br />You grow old <br /> <br />Their legs wide to the world like bibles open <br />To be speared and taking their bodies apart like toys <br />They dismantle themselves by the waters edge <br />And reach for the speech and the wide wide world <br />And, God knows, the local boys <br /> <br />It's the will of love <br />It's the thrill of love <br />Ah but the chill of love <br />Is comin' on <br /> <br />It's the will of love <br />It's the thrill of love <br />Ah but the chill of love <br />Is comin' on <br /> <br />It's the will of love <br />It's the thrill of love <br />Ah but the chill of love <br />Is comin' down, people
