nick cave and the bad seeds “i let love in”

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
