Opium Eyes
Nicholas Cave, Warren Ellis
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 when 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
The world moved and so did I, my wife and my children
How long 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 when 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
The world moved and so did I, my wife and my children
