Lyrics Lie Down Here (& Be My Girl) - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Lie Down Here (& Be My Girl)

I’m trying to tread careful/ baby
your as brittle as the wishbone of a bird
(lie down here & be by girl)
we’ve been scribbled in the margins
of a story that is patently absurd
(lie down here & be my girl)
and let it all come down tonight
(and shine and shine)
and let it all come down
(be my girl/be my girl)
it’s a metter of some urgency
o darling can’t you see/ I can’t hold back the tide
(lie down here & 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 & be my girl)
o don’t worry baby/ this old snake
banging at your door has got a few skins left to shed
(lie down here & be my girl)
o you look so good/ you look so good
the rest is better left unsaid
(lie dwon here & be my girl)
let it all come down tonight
(and shine and we can shine)
let it all come down tonight (be my girl)
one day I’ll buy a factory and I’ll assemmble you
on a production line
(lie down here & be my gurl)
I’d build a million of you baby
and every single one of them will be mine
(lie down here & be my girl)
I will fill the house with your stack you up
in every room/ we’ll have a real good time
(lie down here & be my girl)
but right now/ I’m sitting here
on my own/ going out of my mind
(lie down here & be my girl)
let it all come down tonight
(and shine and shine)
tonight tonight (be my gurl)
you look so good
