lyrics

Dead On The Bed Of Love

Here are fallen angels, here are imitations
Dragged from cloudy cradles, class and creed and working stations
To draw broken wings over shattered sins
To leave and to die down where the pieces lie

So don’t talk to me about heaven, don’t talk to me about hell
Don’t talk to me about heaven, I hear the tolling of the bell
(Don’t) talk to me about heaven, don’t talk to me about hell
Don’t talk to me about heaven, I hear the voices in my head

But I’ll be dead on the bed of love, that’s how you leave me
Dead on the bed of love, with your talk of sanctity
I’ve read on the bed of love and it means nothing to me
Dead on the bed of love keeps meaning nothing to me

You know modern fables, catch-calls of your generation
Laid your cards on every table, every town and every nation
You know no disgrace, no sorry, no embrace
I walk from place to place starting at an empty space

So don’t talk to me about money, don’t talk to me about guns
Don’t talk to me about money, I hear the jangling of your funds
(Don’t) talk to me about money, don’t talk to me about guns
Don’t talk to me about money, I see the comfort of your sons

But I’ll be dead on the bed of love, that’s how you leave me
Dead on the bed of love, with your talk of sanctity
I’ve read on the bed of love and it means nothing to me
Dead on the bed of love keeps meaning nothing to me
