Lyrics (unofficial)
Version on Garage Sutra
[rev. Nov. 24, 2018]
I gotta cool baby, she roams so free
Refines her sexy motions in a bar
I parted the sea, I swam straight ahead
Let's go to Nineveh, it isn't that far
Nineveh
I want to hold you
Just like I told you
I'll never walk these streets again now
I got the faded letters and the Jericho jitters
'Cos my baby went to Babylon
Sodom and Gomorrah, ah let's leave it for tomorrow
'Cos the Nineveh is the only one
Nineveh
I want to hold you
Just like I told you
I'll never walk these streets again now
Nineveh
I want to follow you
(I gotta cool baby, she roams so free)
(Refines her sexy motions in a bar)
I want to swallow you whole
(I parted the sea, I swam straight ahead)
Never feel the soul in here now
(Let's go to Nineveh, it isn't that far)
Version on Sydney Rococo
[added Nov. 24, 2018]
I gotta biblical baby, she born though the reeds
Finds baby Moses in a bar
I parted her sea, I swam through her hair
Let's go to Nineveh, it isn't that far
Nineveh
I want to hold you
Just like I told you
I'll never walk these streets again now
Nineveh
I want to follow you
I want to swallow you whole
Never fill this hole in me now
Hieroglyph letters and Jericho jitters
'Cause my baby went to Babylon
Sodom and Gomorrah, ah let's leave 'em for tomorrow
'Cause Nineveh is the only one
Nineveh
I want to hold you
Just like I told you
I'll never walk these streets again now
Nineveh
I want to follow you
I want to swallow you whole
Never fill this hole in me now
I knew a little teeny-bopper, the mother lived in Joppa
So we're goin' up to Lebanon
Gonna see the sights with some friendly Hittites
And Nineveh is open all night
Nineveh
I want to hold you
Just like I told you
I'll never walk these streets again now
Nineveh
I want to follow you
I want to swallow you whole
Never fill this hole in me now
Nineveh
I want to hold you
Just like I told you
Never walk these streets again now
Nineveh
I want to follow you
I want to swallow you whole
Never fill this hole in me now
