Midnight Man Lyrics - Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! - 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 

upon the mad vibrating sand, 

and through your teeth 

arrange to meet your midnight man.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Everybody's coming round to my place. 

Everybody's coming round to my place. 

Everybody's coming round. 

Oh, baby, don't you see? 

Everybody wants to be 

your midnight man 

Don't disturb me as I sleep, 

treat me gentle when I wake. 

Don't disturb me as I sleep, 

even though your body aches 

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 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 call 'em out, 

the ones who doubt your midnight man. 

Everybody's coming round to my place. 

Everybody's coming round to my place. 

Everybody's coming round. 

Oh, darling, don't you see? 

Everybody wants to 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; 

I called you once, I called you twice. 

Ain't I your midnight man? 

Everybody's coming round to my place. 

Everybody's coming round to my place. 

Everybody's coming round. 

They want you, they love you. 

They need to be 

your midnight man. 

Everybody's coming round to be your midnight man.
