Sleeping in the Devil's Bed
Daniel Lanois
I thought of you in blue and red
I thought of you when you were playing
I thought of you in my bed
You were there, bound and chained
I thought of you there next to me
wearing your pretty face
I thought of everything you could be
Sleeping in the devil's bed
I looked at you when lights were low
and I payed for what I had
I looked at you way down below
till I felt I was going mad
I think of you when I tell myself
and the fever rises high
I think of you and I get what's comin'
Sleeping in the devil's bed
I thought of you up there on the ladder
I thought of you when I heard the news
I thought of you and it didn't matter -
If I accepted, you'll refuse
I wanted you and I wanted more
I wanted everything
I wanted what I couldn't get (give?)
Sleeping in the devil's bed
In the devil's bed
I woke up in the steady rain
I woke up when you said
It's late and I'm feeling heavy,
could you hold my aching head...
I found myself tangled in wire
I found you there in my dream
I found you in desire
You had left the devil's bed
You had left the devil's bed
You had left the devil's bed
