Opium Eyes - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

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
