Midnight Man Lyrics - Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

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 

Don't disturb me as I sleep 

Treat me gentle when I wake 

And don't disturb me as I sleep 

Even though your body aches 

And even though your body aches 

To serve at his command 

Between the wars 

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 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, they want you, they love you 

They need to be your midnight man 

Everybody's coming, everybody's coming 

Everybody's coming around to be your midnight man 

To be your midnight man
