Nick Cave - Loverman

There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
It is bucking and braying and pawing at 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 he's asking for more
(How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)

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 everything 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 baby
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
(How much longer)
There's 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's 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 blind and he's lame
And he's dirty and he's poor
Give him more
(How much longer)
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

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

There's a devil laying by your side
(How much longer)
There's a devil laying by your side
(How much longer)
You might think he's asleep
(How much longer)
but look at his eyes
(How much longer)
He wants you, darling, to be his bride
(How much longer)
There's a devil laying by your side
(How much longer)
