      Babe, You Turn Me On
N. Cave
Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus


[Intro]
G

G
Stay by me
G
Stay by me
Em
You are the one
D             G
My only true

[Verse]
G
The butcher bird makes its noise and it asks you to agree
Em                                     D
With its brutal nesting habits and its pointless savagery
G
Now the nightingale it sings to you and raises up the ante
Em                                      D
I put one hand on your round ripe heart and the other down your panties


[Chorus]
G
Everything is falling dear, everything is wrong
Em
It's just history repeating itself
D                       G
And babe you turn me on
G
Like a light bulb, babe
       Em    D
Like a song

[Verse]
G
You race naked thru the wilderness, you torment the birds and the bees
Em                                D
You leapt into the abyss but find it only goes up to your knees
G
I move stealthily from tree to tree, I shadow you for hours
Em                            D
I make like I'm a little deer grazing on the flowers


[Chorus]
G
Everything is collapsing, dear, all moral sense is gone
Em
It's just history repeating itself 
D                     G
And babe you turn me on
G
Like an idea, babe
        Em      D
Like an atom bomb

[Verse]
G
We stand awed inside a clearing, we do not make a sound
Em                                D
The crimson snow falls all about, carpeting the ground


[Chorus]
G
Everything is falling, dear, all rhyme and reason gone
Em
It's just history repeating itself 
D                     G
And babe you turn me on
G
Like an idea, babe
        Em      D
Like an atom bomb
