Hold that chrysalis in your palm   See it split and change   It won't do you any harm   It's just trying to rearrange      It was born to live a day   Now it flies up from your hand   It's beautiful   It's the one they call your ever loving man      Wolves have carried your babies away   Oh, your kids drip from their teeth   The nights are long and the day   Is bitter cold beyond belief      You spread yourself like a penitent   On the mad vibrating sand   And through your teeth   Arrange to meet your midnight man      Everybody's coming around to my place   Everybody's coming around to my place   Everybody's coming around, baby don't you see?   Everybody wanna be your midnight man      Don't disturb me as I sleep   Treat me gentle when I wake   And don't disturb me as I sleep   Even though your body aches      And even though your body aches   To serve at his command   Between the wars   She still adores her ever loving man      Close your eyes, sleep in him   Dream of your lost sons and daughters   Me, I'll raise up my dorsal fin   And glide up and down the waters      I'll glide up and down the waters   And I'll walk upon the land   And I'll call 'em out   The ones who doubt your midnight man      Everybody's coming around to my place   Everybody's coming around to my place   Everybody's coming around, darling don't you see?   Everybody wanna be your midnight man      It's early in the morning   And I don't know what to do   It's early in the morning   And I can't believe it's true      It's early in the morning   And it's happening again   Well, I called you once, I called you twice   Ain't I your midnight man?      Everybody's coming around to my place   Everybody's coming around to my place   Everybody's coming around, they want you, they love you   They need to be your midnight man      Everybody's coming, everybody's coming   Everybody's coming around to be your midnight man   To be your midnight man
