Lyrics John The Revelator - Nick Cave

John The Revelator

O Babe, a thousands cried O holy
A mountain of fulsome, son of god
Daughter of Zion, Judah the lion
The redeemer said he bought us with our blood
Now who’s that writin'?
(John the revelator)
Who’s that writin'?
(John the revelator)
Yeah, who’s that writin'?
(John the revelator)
He wrote the book of the seven seals
And what’s John writin'?
('bout the revelation)
Yeah, what’s John writin'?
('bout the revelation)
Yeah what’s John writin'?
('bout the revelation)
He wrote the book of the seven seals
John the revelator, straight advocator
Catch’em at the battle of Zion
Tell’em the story, writing the glory
O God, O Lord, so love him from our heart
So who’s that writin'?
(John the revelator)
Yeah who’s that writin'?
(John the revelator)
Yeah, who’s that writin'?
(John the revelator)
He wrote the book of the seven seals
And what’s John writin'?
('bout the revelation)
Yeah, what’s John writin'?
('bout the revelation)
Yeah what’s John writin'?
('bout the revelation)
He wrote the book of the seven seals
Moses to Moses, watching the flock
He saw the bush where they had to stop
God told Moses pull off your shoes
Out of the flock, now you I choose
Now who’s that writin'?
(John the revelator)
Who’s that writin'?
(John the revelator)
Yeah, who’s that writin'?
(John the revelator)
He wrote the book of the seven seals
What’s John writin'?
('bout the revelation)
Yeah, what’s John writin'?
('bout the revelation)
Yeah what’s John writin'?
('bout the revelation)
He wrote the book of the seven seals
