Album:

Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!

Well, you lost a foe
And found yourself a friend


(Lie down here & be my girl)
I'm back now, baby, that man


He won't be coming round here again


(Lie down here & be my girl)


I'm trying to tread careful, baby
You're as brittle as the wishbone of a bird


(Lie down here & be my girl)


We've been scribbled in the margins of a story
That's patently absurd


(Lie down here & be my girl)


And let it all come down tonight
We can shine, shine
Let it all come down


(Be my girl, be my girl)


It's a matter of some urgency, oh 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)


Oh, don't worry, baby, this old snake banging on your door
Has got a few skins left to shed


(Lie down here & be my girl)


Oh, you look so good, you look so good
The rest is better left unsaid


(Lie down here & be my girl)


And let it all come down tonight
And shine, 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


One day I'll buy a factory
And assemble you on a production line


(Lie down here & be my girl)


I'd buy 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 you, 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)


And let it all come down tonight
And shine, oh, we can shine
Let it all come down
Tonight


You look so good, you look so good
