Lyrics Opium Tea - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Here
I
sleep
the
morning
through
'Til
the
wail
of
the
call
to
prayer
awakes
me
And
there
ain't
nothing
at
all
to
do
but
rise
and
follow
The
day
wherever
it
takes
me
I
stand
at
the
window
and
I
look
at
the
sea
And
I
am
what
I
am,
and
what
will
be
will
be
I
stand
at
the
window
and
I
look
at
the
sea
And
I
make
me
a
pot
of
opium
tea
Down
at
the
port
I
watch
the
boats
come
in
Watch
the
boats
come
in
can
do
something
to
you
And
the
kids
gather
around
with
an
outstretched
hand
And
I
toss
them
a
diram
or
two
Well,
I
wonder
if
my
children
are
thinking
of
me
Cause
I
am
what
I
am,
and
what
will
be
will
be
I
wonder
if
my
kids
are
thinking
of
me
And
I
smile
and
I
sip
my
opium
tea
At
night
the
sea
lashes
the
rust
red
ramparts
And
the
shapes
of
hooded
men
who
pass
me
And
the
moan
of
the
wind
laughs
and
laughs
and
laughs
The
strange
luck
that
fate
has
cast
me
Well,
the
cats
on
the
rampart
sing
merrily
That
he
is
what
he
is
and
what
will
be
will
be
Yeah,
the
cats
on
the
rampart
sing
merrily
And
I
sit
and
I
drink
of
my
opium
tea
I'm
a
prisoner
here,
I
can
never
go
home
There
is
nothing
here
to
win
or
lose
There
are
no
choices
needed
to
be
made
at
all
Not
even
the
choice
of
having
to
choose
Well,
I'm
a
prisoner
here,
yes,
but
I'm
also
free
Cause
I
am
what
I
am
and
what
will
be
will
be
I'm
a
prisoner
here,
yeah,
but
I'm
also
free
And
I
smile
and
I
sip
my
opium
tea.
