Babe, You Turn Me On Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Stay by me, stay by me 

You are the one, my only true love 

The butcher bird makes it's noise 

And it asks you to agree 

With it's brutal nesting habits 

And it's pointless savagery 

Now, the nightingale, it sings to you 

And it raises up the ante 

I put one hand on your round ripe heart 

And the other down your panties 

Everything is falling, dear 

Everything is wrong 

It's just history repeating itself 

And babe, babe, you turn me on 

Like a light bulb, babe, like a song 

Well, you race naked through the wilderness 

And you torment the birds and the bees 

And you leapt into the abyss but find 

It only goes up to your knees 

I move stealthily from tree to tree 

And I shadow you for hours 

I make like I'm a little deer 

Grazing on the flowers 

Everything is collapsing, dear 

All moral sense has gone 

And it's just history repeating itself 

And babe, babe, you turn me on 

Like an idea, babe, like an Atom bomb 

We stand awed inside a clearing 

We do not make a sound 

The crimson snow falls all about 

Carpeting the ground 

'Cause everything is falling, dear 

All rhyme and reason gone 

It's just history repeating itself 

And babe, babe, you turn me on 

Like an idea, babe, like an Atom bomb
