Loverman

(Originally recorded by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds)

There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
And he's 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 , ooh I'm coming down yeah
I'm your loverman yeahh
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 the 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'm your loverman!

There's a devil crawling along your floor
(How much longer) etc...for the rest
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 blind and he's lame
and he's dirty and he's poor
Give him (or me?) 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, babyyyy! My hands are tied
And I got no choice No, I got no choice, 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, yeah
To take off your dress And be your man, 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)
There's a devil lying by your side
(How much longer)
You might think he's asleep
but take a look at his eyes
And wants you, darling, to be his bride
There's a devil lying by your side

Loverman! Loverman!
