Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where does all the smoke come from, baby?
Ain't it hard to see through it? Don't it hurt your eyes to try?
It was so much easier yesterday
When all we had to do was survive
[Verse 2]
Well, it's trust somebody or we're all goin' down, baby
But the neighborhood ain't what it used to be
In case you ain't looked lately
You wait and pray, maybe it'll go away
It clings like a curse, but being nowhere is worse
[Verse 3]
Lyin' in a bed of fire
Did we come all this way just to blow it?
Baby, we're lyin' in a bed of fire
We're burnin' and we don't even know it
Yeah, we're lyin' in a bed of fire
If you want to keep what you got, then defend her
Baby, we're lyin' in a bed of fire
Better wake up now or surrender
[Verse 4]
Whatever happened to everybody I heard talkin' so loud?
All the changes, baby, baby, that never came to be
I've still got that same old bad taste in my mouth
Somebody took something that once belonged to me
Now, it may not be in my best interest to be pointing my finger
But I'm still pointing my finger right at you, baby
Take control or keep following blind
I'm trying to get straight, but I'm running out of time
[Verse 5]
Lyin' in a bed of fire
Can't you feel the heat all around us?
Baby, we're lyin' in a bed of fire
The flames threaten to drown us
[Verse 6]
Had me a real bad dream last night, baby
This mornin' my bad dream was alive walkin' the streets of New York City
Somebody has to face this thing somehow
There's no one left but us now, we're all just
[Verse 7]
Lyin' in a bed of fire
Can't you feel the heat all around us?
We're lyin' in a bed of fire
The flames threaten to drown us
(Lyin' in a bed of fire) Yeah baby, we're lyin' in a bed of fire
(Lyin' in a bed of fire) Yeah baby, we're lyin' in a bed of fire
(Lyin' in a bed of fire) Yeah we're lyin', yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
Lyin' in a bed of fire
Lyin' in a bed of fire
(Lyin' in a bed of fire) Baby, lyin'
In a bed of fire (Lyin' in a bed of fire)
(Lyin' in a bed of fire...)
