Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Lyrics for Song: Higgs Boson Blues
 Lyrics for Album: Push The Sky Away [2013]
 
 
 
 23106>Can't remember anything at all
 
 Flame trees line the streets
 
 Can't remember anything at all
 
 But I'm driving my car down to Geneva
 
 
 
 I've been sitting in my basement patio
 
 Aye, it was hot
 
 Up above, girls walk past, the roses all in bloom
 
 Have you ever heard about the Higgs Boson blues
 
 I'm goin' down to Geneva baby, gonna teach it to you
 
 
 
 Who cares, who cares what the future brings?
 
 Black road long and I drove and drove
 
 I came upon a crossroad
 
 The night was hot and black
 
 I see Robert Johnson,
 
 With a ten dollar guitar strapped to his back,
 
 Lookin' for a tune
 
 
 
 Well here comes Lucifer,
 
 With his canon law,
 
 And a hundred black babies runnin' from his genocidal jaw
 
 He got the real killer groove
 
 Robert Johnson and the devil man
 
 Don't know who's gonna rip off who
 
 
 
 Driving my car, flame trees on fire
 
 Sitting and singin' the Higgs Boson blues,
 
 I'm tired, I'm lookin' for a spot to drop
 
 All the clocks have stopped in Memphis now
 
 In the Lorraine Motel, it's hot, it's hot
 
 That's why they call it the Hot Spot
 
 I take a room with a view
 
 Hear a man preaching in a language that's completely new, yea
 
 Making the hot cocks in the flophouse bleed
 
 While the cleaning ladies sob into their mops
 
 And a bellhop hops and bops
 
 A shot rings out to a spiritual groove
 
 Everybody bleeding to that Higgs Boson Blues
 
 
 
 If I die tonight, bury me
 
 In my favorite yellow patent leather shoes
 
 With a mummified cat and a cone-like hat
 
 That the caliphate forced on the Jews
 
 Can you feel my heartbeat?
 
 Can you feel my heartbeat?
 
 
 
 Hannah Montana does the African Savannah
 
 As the simulated rainy season begins
 
 She curses the queue at the Zulus
 
 And moves on to Amazonia
 
 And cries with the dolphins
 
 Mama ate the pygmy
 
 The pygmy ate the monkey
 
 The monkey has a gift that he is sending back to you
 
 Look here comes the missionary
 
 With his smallpox and flu
 
 He's saving them savages
 
 With his Higgs Boson Blues
 
 I'm driving my car down to Geneva
 
 I'm driving my car down to Geneva
 
 
 
 Oh let the damn day break
 
 The rainy days always make me sad
 
 Miley Cyrus floats in a swimming pool in Toluca Lake
 
 And you're the best girl I've ever had
 
 Can't remember anything at all
