Nick Cave & Warren Ellis
Opium Eyes
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
