Palaces of Montezuma
By Nick Cave / Grinderman
Grinderman 2 (2010)
[Verse 1]
APsychedelic invocations
EOf Mata Hari at the station
BI give to you
AA Java princess of Hindu Birth
EA woman of flesh a child of earth
BI give to you
AThe hanging gardens of Babylon
EMiles Davis the black unicorn
BI give to you
AThe Palaces of Montezuma
EAnd the Gardens of Akbar's tomb
BI give to you
AThe spider Goddess and the Needle Boy
EThe slave-dwarves they employ
BI give to you
AA custard-coloured super-dream
EOf Ali McGraw and Steve McQueen
BI give to you
[Chorus]
AC'mon Ebaby, let's get out of the Bcold
AAnd give me, give me, give me your Eprecious love for Bme to hold
[Verse 2]
AThe epic of Gilgamesh
EA pretty little black A-line dress
BI give to you
AThe spinal cord of JFK
EWrapped in Marilyn Monroe's negligee
BI give to you
AI want nothing in return
EJust the softest little breathless word
BI ask of you
AA word contained in a grain of sand
EThat can barely walk can't even stand
BI ask of you
[Chorus]
AC'mon Ebaby, let's get out of the Bcold
AAnd give me, give me, give me your Eprecious love for Bme to hold
AC'mon Ebaby, let's get out of the Bcold
AAnd give me, give me, give me your Eprecious love for Bme to hold
