Loverman (2011 Remastered Version)

Loverman - Nick Cave
Written by：Nicholas Edward Cave
There's a devil waiting outside your door how much longer
There's a devil waiting outside your door how much longer
And it is bucking and braying and pawing the floor
How much longer
And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls
How much longer
There's a devil waiting outside your door
How much longer
He's weak with evil and broken by the world
How much longer
He's shouting your name and asking for more
How much longer
There's a devil waiting outside your door
How much longer
Lover man since the world began
Forever amen till the 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 everything 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
I'll be your 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 what I am what I am
I'm your loverman
There's a devil crawling along your floor
How much longer
There'a a devil crawling along your floor
How much longer
With a trembling heart
He's coming through your door
How much longer
With his straining sex in his jumping paw
How much longer
There'a a devil crawling along your floor
How much longer
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 it more give it more give it more give it more
Give it more give it more give it more give it more
There's a devil crawling along your floor
How much longer
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
How much longer
You might think he's asleep
But take a look at his eyes
How much longer
He wants you babe to be his bride
How much longer
There's a devil lying by your side
How much longer
