Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Lyrics

2. Today's Lesson

Little Janie, she wakes up from a dream 
A gun like a jawbone down the waistband of her jeans 
Mr Sandman can recite today's lesson in his sleep 
He says 
There oughta be a law against me going down on the street 

Little Janie pipes up and she says 
We're gonna have a real cool time tonight 

Down the back of Janie's jeans she had the jawbone of an ass 
Mr Sandman runs around the corner 
Trying to head her off at the pass 
He sticks his head over the fence and yells 
Something way to fast 
It's today lesson 
Something about the corruption of the working class 

Little Janie wakes up on the floor and she says 
We're gonna have a real cool time tonight 

Janie says we are all such a crush of want 
Half-mad with loss 
We are violated in our sleep and we weep 
And we toss 
And we turn 
And we burn 
We are hypnotised 
We are cross-eyed 
We are pimped 
We are bitched 
We are told such monstrous lies 

Little Janie wakes up on the floor and she says 
We're gonna have a real cool time tonight 

Mr Sandmans has a certain appetite for Janie in repose 
He digs her pretty kness and that she is completely naked underneath all her clothes 
He likes to congregate around the intersection of Janie's jeans 
Mr Sandman the inseminator, he opens her up like a love-letter and enters her dreams 

Little Janie wakes up on the floor and she says 
We're gonna have a real good time tonight 
We're gonna have a real good time tonight 
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon 
We're gonna have a real cool time tonight
