Time Jesum Transeuntum Et Non Riverentum [featuring The Dirty Three]

by Nick Cave:

We were called to the forest and we went down
A wind blew warm and eloquent
We were searching for the secrets of the universe
And we rounded up demons and forced them to tell us what it all meant
We tied them to trees and broke them down one by one
And on a scrap of paper they wrote these words
And as we read them the sun broke through the trees
“Dread the passage of Jesus for He will not return”

Then we headed back to our world and left the forest behind
Our hearts singing with all the knowledge of love
And somewhere somehow we lost the message along the way
And when we got home we bought ourselves a house
And we bought a car that we did not use
And we bought a cage with two singing birds
And at night we would sit and listen to the canneries’ song
For we both ran right out of words

Now the stars they are all angled wrong
And the sun and the moon refuse to burn
But I remember a message in the demon’s hand
“Dread the passage of Jesus for He does not return”
“He does not return”
“he does not return”
