Letra Wife Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Wife

Here she comes, my wife
See her down on the street
Well, yeah, she's mine, supine
Or up on her feet Yeah, here she comes Through the dog-breath heat With her concertina spine And her ballerina feet Under a punishing sun
Under a red and green umbrella
Call her name and beat the drum
Through the condominiums and the favelas God is gone. We got to get a new one Not lock Him down in cathedrals and cages I found the eternal woman The fire that leapt from Solomon's pages O,baby, here she comes
My righteous, ringless bride
She is the soul of an ailing continent
She is Latin America's pride There she runs, through the rain Through cities of packed dirt and boneShe's prepared to accept the burden of the world's great pain
Ah, here she comes
I will love her for all time
In her little, small floral skirt, so short
Defying rhythm, defying rhyme
The cats are crying like babies
Up and down the alleys
The kids are howling like cats
With not enough in their bellies Here, she's gaily tripping through the streets
Cats and kids stop to stare
The kids all band their guitars
They shoot their guns into the air She don't carry no gun
Her lips are loaded up with kisses
She got kisses all around her hips
She got them criss-crossing her breasts Keep playing that songDon't let the band go home
I tell you God is gone
We are on our own Yeah, here she comes
In a dress of red and yellow
Up the steps to our home
I got something to tell her I say, I say, b-b-b-b-b-baby! Ye-ye-ye-ye-ah! Yea-a-a-a-h! Uh-huh!0 b-b-b-baby! A-a-a-ah here she comes!
