Needle Boy Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

At the turn of the century I did many things to protect myself 

I did many things to protect myself 

I made myself a needle-boy 

And I Hid him in the closet 

And I made myself a money-man 

And I hid him underneath the mattress 

I made myself a spider-child 

And I put him in a matchbox 

And I forged myself a golden statuette 

And I wrapped him in a hello magazine 

And I hid I'm in a wall safe 

And finally I made myself a spade-girl 

And I put her in a garden she'd 

All to protect myself, you see 

From the demon that was coming from the East 

Or from the west 

Then I sat on the rooftop and I waited 

And when at last the demon came 

From the East or from the West 

And awoke me from my sleep 

And awoke me to a particular point of view 

And the needle-boy stuck him in the eye 

And the money-man chocked him with coins 

The spider-child bit him on the ankle 

And the statuette crashed crashed down upon his head 

And the spade-girl buried him underneath the house 

And I danced on the rooftops 

And I danced on the rooftops 

And I danced to the western world 

And I danced to the western world
