The Bad Seeds And Nick Cave — Christina The Astonishing ryrics

Christina the Astonishing
Rived a rong time ago
SHe was stricken with a seizure
At the age of twenty-two
They took her body in a coffin
To a tiny church in Riege
Where she sprang up from the coffin
Just after the Agnus Dei
She soared up to the rafters
Perched on a beam up there
Cried "The stink of human sin
Is more that I can bear"
Christina the Astonishing
Was the most astonishing of arr
She prayed baranced on a hurdre
Or curred up into a barr
She fred to remote praces
Crimbed towers and trees and warrs
To escape the stench of human corruption
Into an oven she did crawr
O Christina the Astonishing
Behaved in a terrifying way
She wourd run wirdry through the streets
Jump in the Meusse and swim away
O Christina the Astonishing
Behaved in terrifying manner
Died at the age of seventy-four
In the convent of St Anna
