Albert Goes West Lyrics

by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Albert, he goes west
He crossed the vast indifferent deserts of Arizona
He had a psychotic episode on a dude ranch
That involved a bottle of ammonia

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e126469-nick_cave_and_the_bad_seeds~albert_goes_west_lyrics.html ]
Henry, he went south and lost his way
Deep in the weeping forests of Le Vulva
He grew so wan, he grew so sick
He ended up in a bungalow sucking a revolver

The light upon your rainy streets
Offers many reflections
I won't be held responsible
For my actions

Bobby, he goes north, then he goes east
Then over to New Hampshire
Bobby is a cautious man
He walked into a Concord dive to drink a beer

Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna move?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna groove?

I said the world is full
Of endless abstractions
And I won't be held responsible
For my actions

Me, I ain't going anywhere
Just sit and watch the sun come up, I like it here
Oh yeah, I watch the people go ticking past
Go hey hey hey, you know I gotta say I like it here

Sha la-la-la, sha la-la-la, sha la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha la-la-la, sha la-la-la-la-la-la
