Lyrics for 'Christina The Astonishing' by 'Nick Cave'
Christina The Astonishing
Lived A Long Time Ago
She Was Stricken With A Seizure
At The Age Of Twenty-two
They Took Her Body In A Coffin
To A Tiny Church In Liege
Where She Sprang Up From The Coffin
Just After The Agnus Dei
She Soared Up To The Rafters
Perched On A Beam Up There
Cried 'the Stink Of Human Sin
Is More That I Can Bear'
Christina The Astonishing
Was The Most Astonishing Of All
She Prayed Balanced On A Hurdle
Or Curled Up Into A Ball
She Fled To Remote Places
Climbed Towers And Trees And Walls
To Escape The Stench Of Human Corruption
Into An Oven She Did Crawl
O Christina The Astonishing
Behaved In A Terrifying Way
She Would Run Wildly Through The Streets
Jump In The Meusse And Swim Away
O Christina The Astonishing
Behaved In Terrifying Manner
Died At The Age Of Seventy-four
In The Convent Of St Anna
