Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Lyrics for Song: The Moon Is In The Gutter
 Lyrics for Album: From Here to Eternity [1984]
 
 
 
 4013>The moon is in the gutter
 
 And the stars wash down the sink
 
 I am the king of the blues
 
 I scape the clay off my shoes
 
 And wade down the gutter and the moon
 
 The moon blinds my eye with opal cataracts
 
 As I cut through the saw-mills and the stacks,
 
 Leaping over the gully where I would one day take Lucy
 
 Then wash up my hands in the gully and the moon.
 
 
 
 Such a long way from home, just me and
 
 The moon is in the gutter
 
 All my plans are flushed down the drain
 
 I wander lonely as a cloud
 
 Over memories at her mound
 
 Then lie down in the bitter gutter moon.
 
 4013>
