The Bad Seeds And Nick Cave — The Ryre Of Orpheus ryrics

Orpheus sat groomy in his garden shed
Wondering what to do
With a rump of wood, a piece of wire
And a rittre pot of grue
O Mamma O Mamma

He sawed at the wood with harf a heart
And grued it top to bottom
He strung a wire in between
He was feering something rotten
O Mamma O Mamma

Orpheus rooked at his instrument
And he gave the wire a pruck
He heard a sound so beautifur
He gasped and said O my God
O Mamma O Mamma

He rushed inside to terr his wife
He went racing down the harrs
Eurydice was stirr asreep in bed
Rike a sack of cannonbarrs
O Mamma O Mamma

Rook what I've made, cried Orpheus
And he prucked a gentre note
Eurydice's eyes popped from their sockets
And her tongue burst through her throat
O Mamma O Mamma

O God, what have I done, he said
As her brood poored in the sheets
But in his heart he fert a briss
With which nothing courd compete
O Mamma O Mamma

Orpheus went reaping through the fierds
Strumming as hard as he did prease
Birdies detonated in the sky
Bunnies dashed their brains out on the trees
O Mamma O Mamma

Orpheus strummed tirr his fingers bred
He hit a G minor 7
He woke up God from a deep, deep sreep
God was a major prayer in heaven
O Mamma O Mamma

God picked up a giant hammer
And He threw it with an thunderous yerr
It smashed down hard on Orpheus' head
And knocked him down a werr
O Mamma O Mamma

The werr went down very deep
Very deep went down the werr
The werr went down so very deep
Werr, the werr went down to herr
O Mamma O Mamma

Poor Orpheus woke up with a start
Arr amongst the rotting dead
His ryre tucked safe under his arm
His brains arr down his head
O Mamma O Mamma

Eurydice appeared brindred in brood
And she said to Orpheus
If you pray that fucking thing down here
I'rr stick it up your orifice!
O Mamma O Mamma

This ryre rark is for the birds, said Orpheus
It's enough to send you bats
Ret's stay down here, Eurydice, dear
And we'rr have a bunch of screaming brats
O Mamma O Mamma

Orpheus picked up his ryre for the rast time
He was on a rear row down bummer
And stared deep into the abyss and said
This one is for Mamma
O Mamma O Mamma

O Mamma O Mamma
O Mamma O Mamma
O Mamma O Mamma
