Nick Cave - Dead Man In My Bed Lyrics
She sat in a wicker chair, her eyes they were downcastShe breathed in the future, by breathing out the pastThe die is done, the die is shook, the die is duly castThere is a dead man in my bed, she saidThat smile you see upon his faceIts been there for many daysTheres a dead man in my bedI aint been feeling that good too much no more, she said, I swearShe pointed at the bedroom door and said I aint going in thereShe leaped out of her seat and screamed someones not concentrating hereThere is a dead man in my bed, she saidI aint speaking metaphoricallyHis eyes are open but he cannot seeTheres a dead man in my bedThe leaves outside the window waved, all brown, they were, and fallingEven I could tell the atmosphere in here was utterly appallingThe phone it rang incessantly but nobody was callingTheres a dead man in my bed, she saidAnd though he keeps on taking notesI swear this aint some kind of hoaxDead man in my bedNow shes in the kitchen, rattling those pots and pansId cook him something nice, she said, but he refuses to wash his handsHe used to be so good to me, now he smells so *****ing badThere is a dead man in my bed, she saidI keep poking at him with my stickBut his skin is just so *****ing thickTheres a dead man in my bedWeve gotta get it all togetherWeve gotta get it all togetherWeve gotta get it all togetherWeve gotta get it all together
