Balcony Man

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis

2021

What am I to believe?

I’m the balcony man

Where everything is ordinary until it is not

I’m the balcony man

I am two hundred pounds of packed ice

Sitting on a chair and in the morning sun

Putting on my tap dancing shoes

Oh my lap dancing shoes

In the morning sun

 

I am the balcony man, I’m Fred Astaire

You think you have a plan until I hit the stairs

I’m two hundred pound bag of blood and bone

Leaking on your favourite chair

As I put on my lap dancing shoes

In the morning sun

And this morning is amazing and so are you

This morning is amazing and so are you

This morning is amazing and so are you

In the morning sun

 

What am I to think on this balcony, Fred?

Where everything is amazing that stays in bed

I’m a two hundred pound octopus under a sheet

Dancing round your world with my hands and feet

And this much I know to be true

Yeah, this much I know to be true

And this much I know to be true

Yeah, this much I know to be true

This morning is amazing and so are you

This morning is amazing and so are you

This morning is amazing and so are you

You are languid and lovely and lazy

And what doesn’t kill you just makes you crazier

Ooops, no player here yet!
