Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Christina the Astonishing слова песни
Christina the AstonishingLived a long time agoShe was stricken with a seizureAt the age of twenty-twoThey took her body in a coffinTo a tiny church in LiegeWhere she sprang up from the coffinJust after the Agnus DeiShe soared up to the raftersPerched on a beam up thereCried "The stink of human sinIs more that I can bear"Christina the AstonishingWas the most astonishing of allShe prayed balanced on a hurdleOr curled up into a ballShe fled to remote placesClimbed towers and trees and wallsTo escape the stench of human corruptionInto an oven she did crawlO Christina the AstonishingBehaved in a terrifying wayShe would run wildly through the streetsJump in the Meusse and swim awayO Christina the AstonishingBehaved in terrifying mannerDied at the age of seventy-fourIn the convent of St Anna
