Lie Down Here (& Be My Girl) - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

I’m trying to tread careful/ baby

your as brittle as the wishbone of a bird

(lie down here & be by girl)

we’ve been scribbled in the margins

of a story that is patently absurd

(lie down here & be my girl)

and let it all come down tonight

(and shine and shine)

and let it all come down

(be my girl/be my girl)

it’s a metter of some urgency

o darling can’t you see/ I can’t hold back the tide

(lie down here & 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 & be my girl)

o don’t worry baby/ this old snake

banging at your door has got a few skins left to shed

(lie down here & be my girl)

o you look so good/ you look so good

the rest is better left unsaid

(lie dwon here & be my girl)

let it all come down tonight

(and shine and we can shine)

let it all come down tonight (be my girl)

one day I’ll buy a factory and I’ll assemmble you

on a production line

(lie down here & be my gurl)

I’d build a million of you baby

and every single one of them will be mine

(lie down here & be my girl)

I will fill the house with your stack you up

in every room/ we’ll have a real good time

(lie down here & be my girl)

but right now/ I’m sitting here

on my own/ going out of my mind

(lie down here & be my girl)

let it all come down tonight

(and shine and shine)

tonight tonight (be my gurl)

you look so good
