Lie Down Here Songtext

von Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Well, you lost a foe and you found a friend
(Lie down here and be my girl)
I'm back now baby, that man
He won't be coming 'round here again
(Lie down here and be my girl)

I try to take care but baby
You're as brittle as a wishbone of a bird
(Lie down here and be my girl)
We've been scribbled in the margins
Of a story that is patently absurd
(Lie down here and be my girl)

Let it all come down
Yeah, tonight, oh, we can shine, shine
Let it all come down
Oh, be my girl, be my girl

It? s a matter of some urgency, darling can't you see?
I can't hold back the tide
(Lie down here and be my girl)
And stop your frantic little fingers trying to collect
The years that pour from the hole in my side
(Lie down here and be my girl)

Oh, don't worry baby at this old snake banging at your door
Has got a few skins left to shed
(Lie down here and be my girl)
Yeah, you look so good, you're looking so good
And the rest is better left unsaid
(Lie down here and be my girl)

Let it all come down
Tonight, well tonight, oh, we can shine
Let it all come down
Tonight be my girl, yeah, be my girl

You look so good, you look so good
You look so good, you look so good
You look so good

One day I'll buy a factory
I'll assemble you on a production line
(Lie down here and be my girl)
I'll build a million of you baby
And every single one of 'em will be mine
(Lie down here and be my girl)

I will fill the house with you, stack you up in every room
We'll have a real good time
(Lie down here and be my girl)
But right now I'm sitting here on my own going out of my mind
(Lie down here and be my girl)

Let it all come down
Yeah, tonight, oh, we can shine, shine
Shine tonight

You look so good, you look so good, you look so good
Tonight, yeah tonight, tonight, we'll have a really good time
You look so good, you look so good, you look so good
Time, yeah, tonight, tonight, tonight
You look so good, we'll have a really good time
You look so good, you look so good, yeah, tonight
