The Bed Song |
| Exhibit A |
| We are friends in a sleeping bag splitting the heat |
| We have one filthy pillow to share and your lips are in my hair |
| Someone upstairs has a rat that we laughed at |
| And people are drinking |
| And singing bad «Scarborough Fair"on a ukulele tear |
| Exhibit B |
| Well, we found an apartment |
| It’s not much to look at |
| A futon on a floor |
| Torn-off desktop for a door |
| All the decor’s made of milk crates and duct tape |
| And if we have sex |
| They can hear us through the floor |
| But we don’t do that anymore |
| And I lay there wondering, what is the matter? |
| Is this a matter of worse or of better? |
| You took the blanket, so I took the bedsheet |
| But I would have held you if you’d only |
| Let me |
| Exhibit C |
| Look how quaint |
| And how quiet and private |
| Our paychecks have bought us a condo in town |
| It’s the nicest flat around |
| You picked a mattress and had it delivered |
| And I walked upstairs |
| And the sight of it made my heart pound |
| And I wrapped my arms around me |
| And I stood there wondering, what is the matter? |
| Is this a matter of worse or of better? |
| You walked right past me and straightened the covers |
| But I would still love you if you wanted a lover |
| And you said |
| All the money in the world |
| Won’t buy a bed so big and wide |
| To guarantee that you won’t accidentally touch me |
| In the night |
| Exhibit D |
| Now we’re both mostly paralyzed |
| Don’t know how long we’ve been lying here in fear |
| Too afraid to even feel |
| I find my glasses and you turn the light out |
| Roll off on your side |
| Like you’ve rolled away for years |
| Holding back those king-size tears |
| And I still don’t ask you, what is the matter? |
| Is this a matter of worse or of better? |
| You take the heart failure |
| I’ll take the cancer |
| I’ve long stopped wondering why you don’t answer |
| Exhibit E |
| You can certainly see how fulfilling a life |
| From the cost and size of stone of our final resting home |
| We got some nice ones right under a cherry tree |
| You and me lying the only way we know |
| Side by side and still and cold |
| And I finally ask you, what was the matter? |
| Was it a matter of worse or of better? |
| You stretch your arms out and finally face me |
| You say I would have told you |
| If you’d only asked me |
| If you’d only asked me |
| If you’d only asked me |
