Bed of Coals

Warren Zevon

I've been lying on a bed of coals
I've been crying out of controlI roll and I tumble
Every time I come down
I'm too old to die young
And too young to die nowI've been sleeping on a bed of nails
I've been bleeding, it never failsI feel every needle
That pierced through my heart
I'm too old to die young
And I can't play the partBed of coals
Bed of nails
Through the smoke
Behind the veilsBed of coals
Bed of nails
Through the smoke
Behind the veilsI've been lying on a bed of stone
I've been dying all aloneI pray for the power
To turn it around
I'm too old to die young
And too young to die nowBed of coals
Bed of nails
Through the smoke
Behind the veilsBed of coals
Bed of nails
Through the smoke
Behind the veils
