Nocturama Lyrics & Chords By Nick Cave

I passed by the Silent Tiger
The Ailing Ape
The Forgotten Llama
The Penguin face down in the water
I retreat into the Nocturama

When will I ever be your husband?
When will you ever be my bride?
When will you take me from this place
Where hope and hopelessness collide?

To be by your side (x8)

Again and again Baby I'm not that strong
I've got a chain around my ankle and it's dragging me down.

Well nothing moves behind the glass
Deep inside this artificial night
Tiny eyes blink from the darkness
Saying everything will be alright

It'll be alright (x4)
To be by your side (x4)

Well again and again Baby I'm not that tough
When Night falls 'round here it's never Night enough.

To be by your side (x8)
It will be alright (x4)
To be by your side (x4)
Again and again and again and again...
