Midnight Man

midnight man - nick cave & the bad seeds
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 baby don't you see
everybody wanna be your midnight man
close your eyes sleep in him
dream of your lost sons and daughters
me i'll raise up my dorsal fin
and glide up and down the waters
i'll glide up and down the waters
and 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 darling don't 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
it's early 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 darling don't you see
everybody wanna be your midnight man
everybody wanna be your midnight man
they wanna be don't touch my baby
your midnight man
