Avalanche (Live) - Nick Cave
I stepped into an avalanche
It covered up my soul
When I am not this hunchback that you see
I sleep beneath the golden hill
You who wish to conquer pain
You must learn learn to serve me well
You strike my side by accident
As you go down to your goal
This cripple here that you clothe and feed
Is neither starved nor cold
He does not ask for your company
Not at the centre the centre of the world
I have begun to long for you
I who have no need
I have begun to ask for you
I who have no greed
You say you've gone away from me
But I can feel you feel you when you breathe
Do not dress in those rags for me
I know you are not poor
And do not love me quite so fiercely now
When you know that you are not sure
It is your turn my beloved one
It is your flesh that I wear
