Lie Down Here (and Be My Girl) Lyrics - Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

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
