Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Stranger Than Kindness (Live at Alexandra Palace, 2020)
Stranger than kindness
Bottled light from hotels
Spilling everything
Wet hand from the volcano
Sobers your skin
Stranger than kindness
You caress yourself
And grind my soft cold bones below
Your map of desire
Burned in your flesh
Even a fool can come
A strange lit stair
Find a rope hanging there
Stranger than kindness
Keys rain like Heaven's hair
There is no home, there is no bread
We sit at the gate and scratch
The gaunt fruit of passion
It dies in thе light
Stranger than kindness
Your sleeping hands
They journеy, they loiter
Stranger than kindness
You hold me so carelessly close
Tell me I'm dirty
I'm a stranger
I'm a stranger
I'm a stranger to kindness
Kindness
Kindness
