I let love in - Nick Cave
Despair and Deception,
Love's ugly little twins
Came a-knocking on my door,
I let them in
Darling, you're the punishment for all of my former sins
I let love in
I let love in
The door it opened just a crack,
but Love was shrewed and bold
My life flashed before my eyes,
it was a horror to behold
A life-sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
Well I've been bound and gagged
and I've been terrorized
And I've been castrated
and I've been lobotomized
But never has my tormenter come in such a cunning disguise
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone
O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone
I let love in
I let love in
So if you're sitting all alone
and hear a-knocking at you door
and the air is full of promises,
well buddy, you've been warned
Far worse to be Love's lover than the lover that Love has scorned
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
