Bed Of Nails

The lullaby of Broadway

Save me from the bed of nails Oh, rest a weary head
Just save me from a dead-end jail
Save me from the bed

Ya know ya gotta catch a few z's, a get some shut-eye
Ya know ya gotta getcha some sleep
Ya know it's time to hit -n- the hay, a lay ya head down
Lay it down for someone to keep

Oh Lawd this bed of nails
Ya know it's time to saw a few logs, it's time ta turn in

Plenty o'pain to purchase with a nice tin cup,
Plenty o'padded sells to buy
But this bed's way too down-filled to wake you up
If you can't lie upon it - just lie

Bed of nails - sleep with one eye open,
Bed of nails - love to toss n turn,
Bed of nails - ain't no use in hopin'
Ya gotta just learn

Ya know its time a take you a nap, it's time a nod off
Don't ya think ya oughta unwind
Ya know ya gotta getcha some rest, ya better knock off,
Better get yo booty reclined

The sky's still sunny with or without money
Feel the warmin' while we do rest
Risin' in the east, shinin' on a beast
Slowly, surely settin' on the West

Bed of nails - quiet's never silent
Bed of nails - silent's never still
Bed of nails - ta snore thru all that violence
Ya better just chill

Next time you fly (tweet tweet tweedlydeedlydeet)
Look down where you lie (m leavin on a jet plane)
Long cool bed a steely long tall nails,
A shootin' for the sky from their dead-end jails

And sooner or later, out of the East,
Comes a hammer in the hand of a quiet little beast
And each tall nail that dares to reach up into space
Will pounded n hammered n slammed down into place

Bed of nails - every point is painful
Bed of nails - a thousand points of spite
Bed of nails - Ya know the weak it ain't for
It hurts me just right,

Ya know ya should be countin' some sheep,
A head to dreamland, ya know ya gotta hit the sack
Ya know ya gotta getcha some sleep, ya better cash in,
It's time that you was flat on your back
