Husker Du Bed Of Nails Lyrics

Bed Of Nails Lyrics

I can walk the bed of nails

I'm not the only one

But some, they
cannot walk the jagged line

Callous, concentrating

For nails are
sharp as lies

I run the jagged line



From years and years of
practice

I know just how to stand

Alone with perfect balance, hand
in hand

Prepared with boards and hammers

And several bags of
nails

I could build a wall to lean on

Roof above my mind

I
can see you've got your own plans

Please don't drive your nails into this
heart of mine



I can walk the bed of nails

Grin and bear the
pain

But some, they cannot deal with all these things

Always
sacrificing

For lies are sharp as nails

And all the pain it
brings



Sometimes i just pretend that all the lies are true

And i know i might depend on you

But if my concentration breaks

I'm washed away with pain

And then my feet begin to bleed upon my only
bed of nails

And i'm stuck here in the middle of a sea of lies

Inside my bed of nails
