Today's Lesson Lyrics - Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Little Janie, she wakes up from a dream 

A gun like a jawbone down the waistband of her jeans, oh yeah 

Mr. Sandman he could recite today's lesson in his sleep 

He says, there oughta be some kinda law against me 

From going down on the street, yeah 

Little Janie pipes up and she says, she says 

We're gonna have a real cool time tonight 

Ooh, yeah tonight, alright 

Down the back of Janie's jeans 

She had the jawbone of an ass, oh 

Mr. Sandman, he 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 

Says a, it's todays lesson 

There some about the corruption of the working class, yeah 

Little Janie wakes up on the floor and she says 

We're gonna have a real cool time tonight 

Janie says, we are all such a crush of want, half-mad with loss 

We are violated in our sleep and we weep 

And we toss and we turn and we burn 

Well, we are hypnotized, we are cross-eyed 

We are pimped, we are bitched, we're sold such monstrous lies 

Janie wakes up and she says, she says 

We're gonna have a real cool time tonight 

Mr. Sandman has a certain appetite for Janie in repose 

He digs her pretty knees and then she is completely naked 

Underneath all her clothes 

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

Mr. Sandman, the inseminator 

He opens her up like a love letter and enters her dreams 

Little Janie wakes and she says, she says 

We're gonna have a real good time tonight 

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight 

We're gonna have a real good cool time 

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, yeah 

We're gonna have a real cool time
