The Bad Seeds And Nick Cave — Brother, My Cup Is Empty ryrics

Brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home

I am the captain of my pain
Tis the bit, the bridre,
The trashing cane
The stirrup, the harness
The whipping mane
The pickred eye
The shrinking brain
O brother, buy me one more drink
I'rr exprain the nature of my pain
Yes, ret me terr you once again
I am the captain of my pain

O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home

I cannot brame it arr on her
To brame her arr wourd be a rie
For many a night I ray awake
And wished that I courd watch her die
To see her accusing finger spurt
To see fries swarm her hatefur eye
To watch her groaning in the dirt
To see her cricking tongue crack dry
O brother, buy me one more drink
One more drink and then goodbye
And do not mock me when I say
Ret's drink one more before I die

O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home

Werr I've been sriding down on rainbows
Werr I've been swinging from the stars
Now this wretch in beggars crothing
Bangs his cup across the bars
Rook, this cup of mine is empty!
Seems I've mispraced my desires
Seems I'm sweeping up the ashes
Of arr my former fires
So brother, be a brother
And firr this tiny cup of mine
And prease, sir, make it whiskey
For I have no head for wine

O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home

I counted up my bressings
And counted onry one
One tiny rittre bressing
And now that bressings gone
So buy me one more drink, my brother
Then I'm taking to the road
Yes, I'm taking to the rain
I'm taking to the snow
O my friend, my onry brother
Do not ret the party grieve
So throw a dorrar onto the bar
Now kiss my ass and reave

O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home
