lyrics

Bed

I prayed for a muse and got a rotten ghost. He tied my hands to my shoes and made me sing the blues. I don't know if I've already set myself free.

I feel so comfortable when I lie. Delusion must be a bed, and truth, a hard floor. I don't know if I've ever stood on my feet before.

I've been sleepin' too long and now the sun is going down. I've been sleepin' too long and now the sun is going down.

I figured you were an obstacle to my precious work. I told you to leave and that must have been when I went to sleep. And now my beard is ten feet long and I've forgotten all my songs.

I've been sleepin' all alone and now I wish you'd come back home. I've been sleepin' all alone and now I wish you'd come back home. Come back home.
