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?
And he´s weak with evil and broken by the world
How much longer?
And 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 ´til 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, 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

While the empires burn down forever and ever
And ever, 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, what I am

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?
Ooh 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 bind and he´s lame
And he´s dirty and he´s poor
Give me more
How much longer?
There´s a devil crawling along your floor
Loverman! And 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, no, no, no, I got no choice, no choice at all

Loverman! I got the master plan
To take off your dress, And be your man, be your man, hey!
Seize the throne, Seize the mantle
Seize the 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?
Might think he´s asleep, but take a look at his eye
How much longer?
And he wants you, darling, to be his bride
How much longer?

How much longer?
