The lullaby of Broadway
Save me from the bed of nails. Oh, rest a weary head
Just save me from a dead-end jail
Save me from the bed
Ya know ya gotta catch a few z's, a get some shut-eye
Ya know ya gotta getcha some sleep
Ya know it's time to hit -n- the hay, a lay ya head down
Lay it down for someone to keep
Oh Lawd this bed of nails
Ya know it's time to saw a few logs, it's time ta turn in
Plenty o'pain to purchase with a nice tin cup
Plenty o'padded sells to buy
But this bed's way too down-filled to wake you up
If you can't lie upon it - just lie
Bed of nails - sleep with one eye open
Bed of nails - love to toss n turn
Bed of nails - ain't no use in hopin'
Ya gotta just learn
Ya know it's time a take you a nap, it's time a nod off
Don't ya think ya oughta unwind
Ya know ya gotta getcha some rest, ya better knock off
Better get yo booty reclined
The sky's still sunny with or without money
Feel the warmin' while we do rest
Risin' in the east, shinin' on a beast
Slowly, surely settin' on the West
Bed of nails - quiet's never silent
Bed of nails - silent's never still
Bed of nails - ta snore thru all that violence
Ya better just chill
Next time you fly (tweet tweet tweedlydeedlydeet)
Look down where you lie (m leavin on a jet plane)
Long cool bed a steely long tall nails
A shootin' for the sky from their dead-end jails
And sooner or later, out of the East
Comes a hammer in the hand of a quiet little beast
And each tall nail that dares to reach up into space
Will pounded n hammered n slammed down into place
Bed of nails - every point is painful
Bed of nails - a thousand points of spite
Bed of nails - Ya know the weak it ain't for
It hurts me just right
Ya know ya should be countin' some sheep
A head to dreamland, ya know ya gotta hit the sack
Ya know ya gotta getcha some sleep, ya better cash in
It's time that you was flat on your back
