The case was pulled from under the bed She made a call to a sympathetic friend And made arrangements The door was closed there was a note I couldnt be bothered Maybe Ill choke No more engagements
With where have you beens And faraway frowns Trying to be good By not being round And here in the bar The piano mans found Another nail for my heart
That stupid old bug That kills only love I want to be good Is that not enough
So play me the song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart Then play me that song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart
I had excuses those little boy lies That she computed by watching my eyes And told me firmly
She couldnt stand it Im bad on her heart She dropped her makeup and I found the bar Now it concerns me
I've had a bad time Now love is resigned Ive been such a fool Ive loved and goodbyed
So here in the bar The piano mans found Another nail for my heart And here in the bar The piano mans found Another nail for my heart
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 upon the mad vibrating sand And through your teeth arrange to meet your midnight man
Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round, oh baby, don't you see Everybody wanna be your midnight man
Don't disturb me as I sleep, treat me gently when I wake Don't disturb me when I sleep even though your body aches 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 the dorsal fin, and glide up and down the waters I'll glide up and down the waters, then I'll walk upon the land And call them out, the ones who doubt your midnight man
Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round, oh baby, don't you see Everybody wants to 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 I called you once, I called you twice, ain't I your midnight man?
Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round, oh baby, don't you see Everybody wants to be your midnight man
Everybody's coming round Everybody's coming round Everybody's coming round To be your midnight man To be your midnight man
