Wait for the Summer Lyrics
Life is easier when one of us is dead
Hey
I will wait a year
No one stops to hear an accidental fall
And they won't suspect a thing at all
Wait for the summer
We'll sleep when we wanna
Don't tell your mother
We'll leave when we
We'll leave when we wanna
And I have dreamed about it
Now I read about it
And I can't grieve about it
And I can't hey
Someone help me
Someone help me
Someone help me please
Someone help me
Someone help me
Someone help me please
It's an accidental fall
And they won't suspect a thing at all
Wait for the summer
We'll leave when we wanna
Look at your mother
Is that who ya
Is that who ya wanna?
Tell my lady here what I was drinking
And in not too long, won't she start screaming?
What a proud old man, what was she thinking?
I hear her voice sometimes, when I've been dreaming
Tell my lady here what I was dreaming
And in not too long, what was I thinking?
What a proud old man, won't she start screaming?
I hear voice sometimes, when I've been'
When I've been drinking
Rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I killed my baby with a bullet,
One last shot right into her head
And I'm falling falling falling down
Sink into the river!
Sink into the river!
Tell my lady here what I was drinking
I killed my baby with a bullet,
One last shot right into her head
And I'm falling falling falling down
Sink into the river!
Sink into the river!
I hear her voice sometimes
When I've been
When I've been drinking
Rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
Hey
I will wait a year
No one stops to hear an accidental fall
And they won't suspect a thing at all
We'll sleep when we wanna
Don't tell your mother
We'll leave when we
We'll leave when we wanna
Now I read about it
And I can't grieve about it
And I can't hey
Someone help me
Someone help me please
Someone help me
Someone help me
Someone help me please
And they won't suspect a thing at all
We'll leave when we wanna
Look at your mother
Is that who ya
Is that who ya wanna?
And in not too long, won't she start screaming?
What a proud old man, what was she thinking?
I hear her voice sometimes, when I've been dreaming
And in not too long, what was I thinking?
What a proud old man, won't she start screaming?
I hear voice sometimes, when I've been'
When I've been drinking
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
One last shot right into her head
And I'm falling falling falling down
Sink into the river!
I killed my baby with a bullet,
One last shot right into her head
And I'm falling falling falling down
Sink into the river!
When I've been
When I've been drinking
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down

^agreed. except i dont have an ipod.
This song is absolutely amazing.
Killed my lady here when I was drinking Held her neck too long, won't she stop screaming?...
...I killed my baby with a bullet, one last shot right into her head...
This is an amazing song, but check out the live KEXP version.
pretty sure you're right about the second line, the first line I listened to the live version a few times as well to try and get it. not sure (also how would she start screaming if she's dead :)
Anyway there's some proper way to get corrections made, just too lazy to do it, feel free.
also live version is 100x better. studio version seriously lacking the same energy and percussion
This makes murder sound hip and cool.
Though everyone knows that arson is what's REALLY in this year.
hahaha!
hahaha!
should be one of Nick Cave's Murder Ballads...
oh my god. you can drown in this song, haha
I'm pretty sure he's singing "I'm right here right here followin' behind" instead of "rising.. falling down"
I absolutely LOVE this song. Yeah I get lost in this song every single time. It's like a out of body experience. Freakin awesome
