Bed Of Coals Lyrics

Bed Of Coals lyrics

(T-Bone Burnett and Warren Zevon)
I've been lying on a bed of coals
I've
been crying out of control
I roll and I tumble
Every time I come
down
I'm too old to die young
And too young to die now
I've been
sleeping on a bed of nails
I've been bleeding--it never fails
I feel
every needle
That pierced through my heart
I'm too old to die
young
And I can't play the part
Bed of coals
Bed of nails
Through
the smoke
Behind the veils
Bed of coals
Bed of nails
Through the
smoke
Behind the veils
I've been lying in a bed of shame
I've been
dying all alone
I pray for the power
To turn it around
I'm too old to
die young
And too young to die now
Bed of coals
Bed of
nails
Through the smoke
Behind the veils
Bed of coals
Bed of
nails
Through the smoke
Behind the veils
