Lyrics

Under here, you just take my breath away
Under here, the water flows over my head
I can hear the little fishes
Under here, whispering your most terrible name
Under here, they've given me starfish for eyes
And your head is a big red balloon
Under here, your huge hand is heavy on my chest
Ah, and under here, sir, your lovely voice retreats
And yes, you take my breath away
Look at my hair, as it waves and waves
Sir, under here, I have such pretty hair
Silver it is, and filled with silver bubbles
Ah, and under here, my blood will be a cloud
And under here my dreams are made of water
And, sir, you just take my breath away
For under here, my pretty breasts are piled high
With stones, and I cannot breathe
And tiny little fishes enter me
Under here, I am made ready
And under here, I am washed clean
And I glow with the greatness of my hate for you
Written by: Bruno Pisek, Nick Cave
