The Moon Is In The Gutter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The moon is in the gutter
And the stars wash down the sink
I am the king of the blues
I scrape the clay off my shoes
And wade down the gutter and the moon
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e126617-nick_cave_and_the_bad_seeds~the_moon_is_in_the_gutter_lyrics.html ]
[Verse 2]
The moon blinds my eye with opal cataracts
As I cut through the saw-mills and the stacks
Leaping over the gully where I would one day take Lucy
Then wash up my hands in the gutter and the moon

[Verse 3]
Such a long way from home, just me and
The moon is in the gutter
All my plans are flushed down the drain
I wander lonely as a cloud
Over memories at her mound
Then lie down in the bitter gutter moon
