Midnight Man

[00:14.28] Hold that chrysalis in your palm,
[00:17.64] See it split and change.
[00:23.26] It won't do you any harm,
[00:25.56] It's just trying to rearrange.
[00:30.81] It was born to live a day,
[00:33.75] Now it flies up from your hand.
[00:37.74] It's beautiful,
[00:38.93] It's the one they call your ever-loving man.
[00:49.17] Wolves have carried your babies away,
[00:52.52] Oh, your kids drip from their teeth.
[00:57.97] The nights are long and the day
[01:01.14] Is bitter cold beyond belief.
[01:06.56] You spread yourself like a penitent
[01:09.67] Upon the mad vibrating sand,
[01:13.23] And through your teeth
[01:14.65] Arrange to meet your midnight man.
[01:23.32] Everybody's coming round to my place.
[01:28.52] Everybody's coming round to my place.
[01:35.23] Everybody's coming round.
[01:38.55] Oh, baby, don't you see?
[01:41.47] Everybody wants to be
[01:44.23] Your midnight man
[01:52.75] Don't disturb me as I sleep,
[01:54.87] Treat me gentle when I wake.
[02:00.96] Don't disturb me as I sleep,
[02:03.04] Even though your body aches
[02:08.88] Even though your body aches
[02:11.58] To serve at his command.
[02:15.35] Between the wars
[02:16.85] She still adores her ever-loving man.
[02:27.87] Close your eyes, sleep in him,
[02:30.82] Dream of your lost sons and daughters.
[02:36.44] Me, I'll raise up the dorsal fin
[02:38.77] And glide up and down the waters.
[02:44.18] I'll glide up and down the waters
[02:47.13] Then I'll walk upon the land,
[02:50.87] And call 'em out,
[02:52.35] The ones who doubt your midnight man.
[03:00.93] Everybody's coming round to my place.
[03:06.32] Everybody's coming round to my place.
[03:12.64] Everybody's coming round.
[03:16.34] Oh, darling, don't you see?
[03:19.08] Everybody wants to be
[03:21.36] Your midnight man
[03:29.77] It's early in the morning
[03:32.85] And I don't know what to do.
[03:38.33] It's early in the morning
[03:40.41] And I can't believe it's true.
[03:46.44] It's early in the morning
[03:48.97] And it's happening again;
[03:52.14] I called you once, I called you twice.
[03:55.04] Ain't I your midnight man?
[04:02.54] Everybody's coming round to my place.
[04:07.98] Everybody's coming round to my place.
[04:14.05] Everybody's coming round.
[04:17.65] They want you, they love you.
[04:19.46] They need to be
[04:20.94] Your midnight man.
[04:29.54] Everybody's coming round to be your midnight man.
