  • 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 kind of law against me going down the street yeah
    And little Janie pipes up and she says
    She says "We're gonna have a real cool time tonight"
    Hoo, yeah tonight

    Alright
    Down the back of Janie's jeans she had the jawbone of an ass
    Mr Sandman, he runs around the corner, trying to head her off at the pass
    He sticks his head over the fence and he yells something way too fast
    It's uh, it's today's lesson, yeah, something about the corruption of the working class and
    Little Janie wakes up on the floor and she says
    "We're gonna have a real cool time tonight"

    Come on

    Janie says we're 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
    We are hypnotised, we are cross-eyed, we are pimped, we are bitched
    We are told such monstrous lies
    Janie wakes up and she says
    She says "We're gonna have a real cool time tonight"

    (Real cool time)

    Mr Sandman, he has a certain appetite for Janie in repose
    He digs her pretty knees and that 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 up and she says
    She says "We're gonna have a real good time tonight"

    Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
    We're gonna have a real cool-cool time
    Come on, come on, come on, come on
    We're gonna have a real cool time Writer/s: Nicholas Cave
