Bed Of Coals
I`ve been lying on a bed of coals
I`ve been crying out of control
I roll and I tumble
Every time I come down
I`m too old to die young
And too young to die now
I`ve been sleeping on a bed of nails
I`ve been bleeding--it never fails
I feel every needle
That pierced through my heart
I`m too old to die young
And I can`t play the part
Bed of coals
Bed of nails
Through the smoke
Behind the veils
Bed of coals
Bed of nails
Through the smoke
Behind the veils
I`ve been lying in a bed of shame
I`ve been dying all alone
I pray for the power
To turn it around
I`m too old to die young
And too young to die now
Bed of coals
Bed of nails
Through the smoke
Bed Of Coals
I`ve been lying on a bed of coals
I`ve been crying out of control
I roll and I tumble
Every time I come down
I`m too old to die young
And too young to die now
I`ve been sleeping on a bed of nails
I`ve been bleeding--it never fails
I feel every needle
That pierced through my heart
I`m too old to die young
And I can`t play the part
Bed of coals
Bed of nails
Through the smoke
Behind the veils
Bed of coals
Bed of nails
Through the smoke
Behind the veils
I`ve been lying in a bed of shame
I`ve been dying all alone
I pray for the power
To turn it around
I`m too old to die young
And too young to die now
Bed of coals
Bed of nails
Through the smoke
