Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Lyrics

8. Lie Down Here (& Be My Girl)

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’m trying to tread careful, 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 
Shine 
Let it all come down 

It’s a matter of some urgency 
O 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 

Don't worry, baby, this old snake 
Banging at your door 
Lie down here and be my girl (has got a few skins left to shed) 
You look so good 
You look so good 
Lie down here and be my girl (and the rest is better left unsaid) 

Let it all come down 
Yeah, tonight 
Shine 
Let it all come down 

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 them will be mine 
Lie down here and be my girl 

I will fill the house with you 
Stack you up in every room 
Lie down here and be my girl (we'll have a real good time) 
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 
Shine 
Tonight 

You look so good (tonight)
