Nick Cave
The Voice

[Verse 1]
The voice, the voice, it troubles you
For there is no one there at all
You have a choice, you can be black or white
You are not trapped, you can rise or you can fall

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not up to me
I've been cauterized
I am no Houdini
I've been mesmerized
By sights and sounds

[Chorus]
The voice, the voice
It's calling you
Calling you

[Verse 2]
I feel a spy, he's in my house
I see his prints upon my door
I hang my paintings up so high
That I don't appear, no, no, no, I don't appear so tall

[Pre-Chorus]
It's up to you
Your lips taste of wine
And they cut me closer
I got to touch your mind
[Chorus]
Oh, could this be true?
The, the voice, the, the voice
It's calling you
Ooh

[Bridge]
It's not that I feel insecure
There's not a spa tread in my room
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
It's just that I need to be reassured
Like any other fool
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no
No
No

[Verse 3]
Sunday is here, let's make the break
Let's pretend, put down your books
Pick up your friends

[Refrain]
There's no time to lose
There's no time at all
There's no time to lose
There's no time
[Outro]
Could this be you?
The, the voice (The voice), the, the voice (The voice)
It's calling you
Oh, the voice (The voice), the, the voice (The voice)
It's calling you
I hear that voice (The voice), the voice (The voice)
It's calling you
Oh, the voice (The voice), the voice (The voice)
It's calling you, ooh
