- These are the days when you wish your bed was already made.
- She got pictures on the wall, they make me look up from her big brass bed. Now I'm running down the road, trying to stay up - somewhere in her head.
- Well by the force of will, my lungs are filled and so I breathe. Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave.
- Giving me head on the unmade bed, while the limousines wait in the street.
- Sleight of hand and twist of fate. On a bed of nails she makes me wait.
- I got up to wash my face. When I come back to bed, someone's taken my place.
- But I kind of like the feel of this extra few feet in my bed.
- I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say. I come home in the morning. I go to bed feeling the same way.
- I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire. Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire.
- "Hey, that was great," he said, "I wish we could stay in bed. But I got to be at work in less than an hour."
- Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed. Or Thursday, watch the walls instead.
- ...Fifteen of those are nights. Can't sleep when the bed sheet fights its way back to your side.
Bonus: I don't know any of their songs but I like this line by the Handsome Family: "Liza Minnelli spent a month in her bed, certain that Skylab would fall on her head."
