Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Midnight Man lyrics
rate me<BR>
Hold that chrysalis in your palm, see it split and change<br>
It won't do you any harm, it's just trying to rearrange<br>
It was born to live a day, now it flies up from your hand<br>
It's beautiful, it's the one they call your ever-loving man<br>
<br>
Wolves have carried your babies away, oh your kids drip from their teeth<br>
The nights are long and the day is bitter cold beyond belief<br>
You spread yourself like a penitent upon the mad vibrating sand<br>
And through your teeth arrange to meet your midnight man<br>
<br>
Everybody's coming round to my place<br>
Everybody's coming round to my place<br>
Everybody's coming round, oh baby, don't you see<br>
Everybody wanna be your midnight man<br>
<br>
Don't disturb me as I sleep, treat me gently when I wake<br>
Don't disturb me when I sleep even though your body aches<br>
Even though your body aches to serve at his command<br>
Between the wars she still adores her ever-loving man<br>
<br>
Close your eyes, sleep in him, dream of your lost sons and daughters<br>
Me, I'll raise up the dorsal fin, and glide up and down the waters<br>
I'll glide up and down the waters, then I'll walk upon the land<br>
And call them out, the ones who doubt your midnight man<br>
<br>
Everybody's coming round to my place<br>
Everybody's coming round to my place<br>
Everybody's coming round, oh baby, don't you see<br>
Everybody wants to be your midnight man<br>
<br>
It's early in the morning and I don't know what to do<br>
It's early in the morning and I can't believe it's true<br>
It's early in the morning and it's happening again<br>
I called you once, I called you twice, ain't I your midnight man?<br>
<br>
Everybody's coming round to my place<br>
Everybody's coming round to my place<br>
Everybody's coming round, oh baby, don't you see<br>
Everybody wants to be your midnight man<br>
<br>
Everybody's coming round<br>
Everybody's coming round<br>
Everybody's coming round<br>
To be your midnight man<br>
To be your midnight man<br>
<BR><BR>
