Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - I Let Love In lyrics

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
