Loverman lyrics

Artist  : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds 
Song : Loverman
 


There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How
much longer?)
There's a devil waiting outside
your door
It is bucking and braying and pawing
at the floor
And he's howling with pain and
crawling up the walls
There's a devil waiting
outside your door
He's weak with evil and
broken by the world
He's shouting your name
and he's asking for more
There's a devil
waiting outside your door


Loverman!
Since the world began
Forever, Amen Till end
of time Take off that
dress I'm coming down
I'm your loverman
Cause I am what I am what I
am what I am


L is for LOVE, baby
O
is for ONLY you that I do
V is for loving
VIRTUALLY all that you are
E is for loving
almost EVERYTHING that you do
R is for RAPE
me
M is for MURDER me
A is for ANSWERING
all of my prayers
N is for KNOWING your
loverman's going to
be the answer to all of
yours


Loverman! Till the bitter
end
While empires burn down Forever and
ever
and ever and ever Amen I'm your
loverman
So help me, baby So help me
Cause
I am what I am what I am what I am
I'll be
your loverman!


There's a devil
crawling along your floor
There's a devil
crawling along your floor
With a trembling
heart, he's coming through your door
With his
straining sex in his jumping paw
There's a
devil crawling along your floor
And he's old
and he's stupid and
he's hungry and he's
sore
And he's lame and he's blind
and he's
dirty and he's poor
Give him more
There's a
devil crawling along your
floor


Loverman! Here I stand Forever,
Amen
Cause I am what I am what I am what I
am
Forgive me, baby My hands are tied
And I
got no choice No, I got no choice at
all


I'll say it again
L is for
LOVE, baby
O is for O yes I do
V is for
VIRTUE, so I ain't gonna hurt you
E is for
EVEN if you want me to
R is for RENDER unto
me, baby
M is for that which is MINE
A is
for ANY old how, darling
N is for ANY old
time


I'll be your loverman! I got a
masterplan
To take off your dress And be your
man
Seize the throne Seize the mantle
Seize
the crown Cause I am what I am
What I am what
I am I'm your loverman!


There's a
devil lying by your side
You might think he's
asleep
but look at his eyes
He wants you,
baby, to be his bride
There's a devil lying by
your side


Loverman! Loverman!
