Warren Zevon Bed Of Coals
(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
