Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Today's Lesson Lyrics

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
Dig Lazarus Dig
Today's Lesson
Little Janie she wakes up from a dream
a gun like a jawbone down the waistb& of her jeans
mr Sandman can recite today's lesson in his sleep he says
(there oughta be a law against me going down on the street)
little Janie pipes up and she says
we're gonna have a real cool time tonite
down the back of Janie's jeans she had the jawbone of an ass
mr Sandman runs around the corner
trying to head her off at the pass
he sticks his head over the fence and yells
something way too fast
(it's today's lesson)
something about the corruption of the working class
little Janie wakes up on the floor and she says
we're gonna have a real cool time tonite
(Janie says we are all such a crush of want half-mad with loss we are
violated on our sleep and we weep and we toss and we turn and we burn we are
hypnotised we are cross-eyed we are pimped we are bitched
we are told
such monstrous lies

Janie wakes up and she says
we're gonna have a real cool time tonite
mr Sandman has a certain appetite for Janie in repose
he digs her pretty knees and that she is completely naked underneath all her clothes
he likes to congregate around the intersection of Janie's jeans

mr Sandman the inseminator
opens her up like a love-letter and enters her dreams
little Janie wakes up and she says
we're gonna have a real good time tonite!!
