Be careful where you lie down boy

In this bed of roses

Promises of petals then

You wake up on the other end

Love is such a monster kid

And power is addictive

Sweet fire and beauty will turn this city flat

And could you really handle all that?

I thought I was through with living once

But lord the way she lies there breathing

In the deepest hour of the night

Unraveled, open, full, and all undone by

Last night we capped the cavern, dear

We said the word and we're going on down

Honey you pulled out the big blue

And you kiss it all through

And christ how this life from mud to miracle

Is just the prettiest little burden

Isn't it, Elle?

And christ how this life from mud to miracle

Is just the prettiest little burden

Isn't it, Elle?

Be careful where you lie down boy

In this bed of roses

Promises of petals then
