Midnight Man

Hold that chrysalis in your palm See it split and change It won't do you any harm It's just trying to rearrange It was born to live a day Now it flies up from your hand It's beautiful It's the one they call Your ever-loving man Wolves have carried your babies away Oh your kids drip from their teeth The nights are long and the day Is bitter cold beyond belief You spread yourself like a penitent On the mad vibrating sand And through your teeth Arrange to meet Your midnight man Everybody's coming around to my place! Everybody's coming around to my place! Everybody's coming around! Oh baby, don't you see Everybody wanna be Your midnight man Don't disturb me as I sleep Treat me gentle when I wake And don't disturb me when I sleep Even though your body aches Even though your body aches To serve at his command Between the walls She still adores Her ever-loving man Close your eyes, sleep in him Dream of your lost sons and daughters Me, I'll raise up the dorsal fin And glide up and down the waters I'll glide up and down the waters Then I'll walk upon the land And I'll call 'em out The ones who doubt Your midnight man Everybody's coming around to my place! Everybody's coming around to my place! Everybody's coming around! Don't, did you see Everybody wanna be Your midnight man It's early in the morning And I don't know what to do It's early in the morning And I can't believe it's true As I lay in the morning And it's happening again Well, I called you once, I called you twice Ain't I your midnight man Everybody's coming around to my place! Everybody's coming around to my place! Everybody's coming around! They want you, they love you, they need you To be, your midnight man Everybody's coming here Everybody's coming here Everybody's coming here To be your midnight man To be your midnight man --- Midnight Man - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
