Wild Beasts
Bed of Nails (Live at RAK)
[Chorus]
I would lie anywhere with you
Any old bed of nails would do
Ink up the wound for an crude tattoo
A big old red heart with an anchor stuck through
Like a sister Ophelia
Tell me you're there!
Like a lifeline Ophelia
Tell me you're there!
O, Ophelia, I feel yer fall
O, Ophelia, I feel yer fall
Ah
Any old bed of nails for me
Just so you're there when I fall asleep
I'd lay all night in a lanky limbed heap
Surround me like a warm bath
Sum me up like an epitaph
Be blatant as a bailiff
I want my lips to blister when we kiss
O, Ophelia, I feel yer fall
O, Ophelia, I feel yer fall
Our love, Frankenstein in nature and design
Like the Shellys on their very first time
When our bodies become electrified
Together we bring this creature to life
Its alive...
Its alive...
Its alive...
[Chorus]
I would lie anywhere with you
Any old bed of nails would do
Ink up the wound for an crude tattoo
A big old red heart with an anchor stuck through
[Chorus]
I would lie anywhere with you
Any old bed of nails for me
Just so you're there when I fall asleep
I'd lay all night in a lanky limbed heap
