Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow (Westside session) Songtext
von Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

Where is Mona, she′s long gone?
Where is Mary, she's taken her along?
But they haven′t put their mittens on
And there's fifteen feet of pure white snow?

Where is Michael, where is Mark?
Where is Mathew, now it's getting dark?
Oh, where is John, they are all out back?
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Would you please put down that telephone
We′re under fifteen feet of pure white snow

I waved to my neighbour, my neighbour waved to me
But my neighbour is my enemy
I kept waving my arms ′til I could not see
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Is anybody out there please?
It's too quiet in here and I′m beginning to freeze
I've got icicles hanging from my knees
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow


Is there anybody here who feels this low?
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Is it any wonder?

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

Doctor, doctor, I′m going mad
This is the worst day I've ever had
I can′t remember ever feeling this bad
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Where's my nurse, I need some healing?
I've been paralysed by this lack of feeling
I can′t even find anything worth stealing
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Is there anyone else here who doesn′t know?
We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow


Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Is it any wonder?

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

Save Yourself, save yourself
Help Yourself, save yourself
Save Yourself, save yourself
Help Yourself, help yourself
Save yourself, help yourself
Help yourself, yeah-yeah-yeah
