Devil's Bed Lyrics

When you're standing in line with a ticket for a dance

Watching Victoria spin her web, wondering, should you take a chance

And she's sucking out every beat from your naked heart

You wonder should you start

Should you stop

Should you be calling for a cop

To put an end to this crime

You think about these things

When you're standing in line

You got to go crazy, got to let yourself unwind

But not so far that you can't recoil before you lose your mind

Because the morning comes like a big bass drum

That's pounding in your head

You got to go crazy, and end up sane

And take a dance around the devil's bed

When you're filling out applications for the better schools

Watching Victoria spin her web, and make up ridiculous rules

When she was picking you up at a diner in the great mid-west

You probably should have guessed

That it was a sting

A golden rule, not a wedding ring

You should have taken your time

You think about these things

When you're standing in line

You got to go crazy, got to let yourself unwind

But not so far that you can't recoil before you lose your mind

Because the morning comes like a big bass drum

That's pounding in your head

You got to go crazy, and end up sane

And take a dance around the devil's bed

When you're paying your taxes wondering how things became a mess

Watching Victoria spin her web, and slowly get undressed

And she's painting a portrait of a couple now deceased

You try to rest in peace

In a time of war

Wondering what you're really fighting for

And is it worth a dime

You think about these things

When you're standing in line
