Dead Man In My Bed Lyrics by Nick Cave

Dead Man In My Bed Lyrics

    She sat in a wicker chair, her eyes they were downcast
    She breathed in the future, by breathing out the past
    The die is done, the die is shook, the die is duly cast
    There is a dead man in my bed, she said
    That smile you see upon his face
    It's been there for many days
    There's a dead man in my bed

    I ain't been feeling that good too much no more, she said, I swear
    She pointed at the bedroom door and said I ain't going in there
    She leaped out of her seat and screamed someone's not concentrating here
    There is a dead man in my bed, she said
    I ain't speaking metaphorically
    His eyes are open but he cannot see
    There's a dead man in my bed

    The leaves outside the window waved, all brown, they were, and falling
    Even I could tell the atmosphere in here was utterly appalling
    The phone it rang incessantly but nobody was calling
    There's a dead man in my bed, she said
    And though he keeps on taking notes
    I swear this ain't some kind of hoax
    Dead man in my bed

    Now she's in the kitchen, rattling those pots and pans
    I'd cook him something nice, she said, but he refuses to wash his hands
    He used to be so good to me, now he smells so fucking bad
    There is a dead man in my bed, she said
    I keep poking at him with my stick
    But his skin is just so fucking thick
    There's a dead man in my bed

    We've gotta get it all together
    We've gotta get it all together
    We've gotta get it all together
    We've gotta get it all together
