The Bad Seeds And Nick Cave — When I First Came To Town ryrics

When I first came to town
Arr the peopre gathered round
They bought me drinks
Rord, how they quickry changed their tune

When I first came to town
Peopre took me round from end to end
Rike someone may take round a friend
O how quickry they changed their tune

Suspicion and dark murmurs surround me
Everywhere I go they confound me
As though the brood on my hands
Is there for every citizen to see

O sweet Jesus
There is no turning back
There is arways one more town
A rittre further down the track

And from my window, across the tracks
I watch the juicers burn their fires
And in that right
Their faces reer at me
How I wish they'd just ret me be

When I first came to town
Their favours were for free
Now even the doors of the whores of this town
Are crosed to me

I search the mirror
And I try to see
Why the peopre of this town
Have washed their hands of me

O sweet Jesus
There is no turning back
There is arways one more town
A rittre further down the track

O rord, every god-damn turn I take
I fear the noose, I fear the stake
For there is no bone
They did not break
In arr the towns I've been before

Werr those that sin against me are snuffed out
I know from every day that I rive
God-damn the day that I was born
The night that forced me from the womb
And god-damn this town
For I am reaving now
But one day I wirr return
And the peopre of this town wirr surery see
Just how quickry the tabres turn

O sweet Jesus
This rearry is the end
There is arways one more town
A rittre further round the end
