Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Today's Lesson lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Little Janie, she wakes up from a dream<br>

A gun like a jawbone down the waistband of her jeans<br>

Oh, yeah<br>

Mr Sandman, he can recite today's lesson in his sleep<br>

He says there oughta be some kind of law against me going down the street<br>

And little Janie pipes up and she says<br>

She says we're gonna have a real cool time tonight<br>

Yeah, tonight<br>

<br>

All right<br>

<br>

Down the back of Janie's jeans she had the jawbone of an ass<br>

Mr Sandman, he runs around the corner<br>

Trying to head her off at the pass<br>

He sticks his head over the fence and yells something way too fast<br>

It's today's lesson, yeah, something about the corruption of the working class<br>

<br>

Little Janie wakes up on the floor and she says<br>

We're gonna have a real cool time tonight<br>

<br>

Come on<br>

<br>

Janie says we're all such a crush of want half-mad with loss<br>

We are violated in our sleep and we weep and we toss and we turn and we burn<br>

We are hypnotised we are cross-eyed we are pimped we are bitched<br>

We are told such monstrous lies<br>

<br>

Janie wakes up and she says<br>

We're gonna have a real cool time tonight<br>

<br>

Mr Sandman, he has a certain appetite for Janie in repose<br>

He digs her pretty knees and that she is completely naked underneath all her clothes<br>

He likes to congregate around the intersection of Janie's jeans, yeah<br>

Mr Sandman the inseminator he opens her up like a love letter and enters her dreams<br>

<br>

Little Janie wakes up and she says<br>

We're gonna have a real good time tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight<br>

We're gonna have a real good time<br>

Come on, come on, come on<br>

We're gonna have a real good time<br>

<BR><BR>
