Midnight Man Lyrics - Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! - Nick Cave

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 

O 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! 

O 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 

And don't disturb me as 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 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 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 its true 

As I lay in the moment 

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
