Lyrics Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Finishing Jubilee Street

I just finished writing Jubilee Street
I lay down on my bed and fell into a deep sleep
And when I awoke I believed
I had taken a bride called Mary Stanford

I said, «Hey little girl, where do you hide?
You draw lightning from the sky»

All of this in her dark hair
All of this in her dark hair, oh Lord

See that girl
Comin’ on down
Comin’ on down
Comin’ on down

See that girl
Comin’ on down
Comin’ on down
Comin’ on down

Last night your shadow scampered up the wall, it fly
And leaped like a black spider between your legs
And cried
My children! My children!
They are lost to us

All of this in her dark hair
All of this in her dark hair, oh Lord

See that girl
Comin’ on down
Comin’ on down
Comin’ on down

See that girl

See that girl
Comin’ on down
Comin’ on down
Comin’ on down

See that girl
Comin’ on down
Comin’ on down
Comin’ on down
