Be careful where you lie down, boy |
|
In this bed of roses |
|
Promises of petals, then |
|
You wake up on the other end |
|
Love is such a monster, kid |
|
And power is addictive |
|
Sweet fire and beauty'll turn this city flat |
|
And could you really handle that |
|
I thought I was through with living once |
|
But, lord, the way she lies there breathing |
|
In the deepest hour of the night |
|
Unraveled, opened full and all undone by |
|
And last night we capped the cavern, dear |
|
We said the word and we're goin' down |
|
Honey you pulled out the big blue |
|
And you kissed it all through |
|
Christ, how this life |
|
From mud to miracle |
|
Is just the prettiest little burden |
|
Isn't it, El? |
