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
oh you look so good you look so good
the rest is better left unsaid
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
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
we can shine oh we can shine tonight
you look so good you look so good
you look so good you look so good
tonight tonight
you look so good you look so good
we have shine
