Nick Cave, The Bad Seeds - Opium Eyes lyrics

[Nick Cave, The Bad Seeds - Opium Eyes lyrics]

Eventually he became part of the history of the world
He started killing men and he ain't well
Scattered their bones across the sky
Came down from the city
Caused a rumble and he did fly
Ball-peen head and opium eyes
He became watchful and so did I
He kept moving and so did I
And flew clear and so did I
Whirlpooled and so did I, my wife and my children

Along the history of the world
He started killing men and he ain't well
Scattered their bones across the sky
Came down from the city
Caused a rumble and he did fly
Ball-peen head and opium eyes
He became watchful and so did I
He kept moving and so did I
He flew clear and so did I, he flew clear and so did I
Whirlpooled and so did I, my wife and my children
