Nick Cave
Avalanche

I stepped into an avalanche

It covered up my soul

When I am not this hunchback that you see

I sleep beneath the golden hill

You who wish to conquer pain

Must learn to serve me well

You strike my side by accident

As you go down to your goal

This cripple here that you clothe and feed

Is neither starved nor cold

He does not ask for your company

Not at the center, the center of the world

I who am on a pedestal

You did not raise me there

Your laws do not compel me now

To kneel grotesque and bare

For I myself am the pedestal

This ugly hump at which you stare

You who wish to conquer pain

You must learn what makes me kind

The crumbs of love that you offer me

Are the crumbs I've left behind

Your pain is no credential here

It's just a shadow of my wound

I have begun to ask for you

I who have no greed

I have begun to long for you

I who have no need

You say you've gone away from me

But I can feel you when you breathe

Do not dress in those rags for me

I know you are not poor

And do not love me quite so fiercely now

When you know that you are not sure

It is your turn, my beloved one

It is your flesh that I wear


Mirror lyrics:

It is your flesh that I wear

It is your turn, my beloved one

When you know that you are not sure

And do not love me quite so fiercely now

I know you are not poor

Do not dress in those rags for me

But I can feel you when you breathe

You say you've gone away from me

I who have no need

I have begun to long for you

I who have no greed

I have begun to ask for you

It's just a shadow of my wound

Your pain is no credential here

Are the crumbs I've left behind

The crumbs of love that you offer me

You must learn what makes me kind

You who wish to conquer pain

This ugly hump at which you stare

For I myself am the pedestal

To kneel grotesque and bare

Your laws do not compel me now

You did not raise me there

I who am on a pedestal

Not at the center, the center of the world

He does not ask for your company

Is neither starved nor cold

This cripple here that you clothe and feed

As you go down to your goal

You strike my side by accident

Must learn to serve me well

You who wish to conquer pain

I sleep beneath the golden hill

When I am not this hunchback that you see

It covered up my soul

I stepped into an avalanche
