Warmer Place To Sleep Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Well I've been up to the mountain 

Seen the ashes down below 

I had breakfast with the wise man 

He told me what he thought I should know 

And I've been to bed with Jezebel 

And I found the well was deep 

And I'd trade in my ambitions 

For a warmer place to sleep

Well I've seen the heart of darkness 

Read the writing on the wall 

And the voice out in the desert 

Was the voice out in the hall 

And once he called me Abel 

And once he called me Cain 

And for forty days and forty nights 

I slept out in the rain 

[Chorus:] 

Girl can you share your warm bed tonight 

I need to find a safe retreat 

Someplace where they can't see my eyes 

I need to find a warmer place to sleep

Well I rested in the devil's arms 

I've chased the hounds of hell 

I played truth or dare with the angels 

And as far as I can tell 

That a heart of gold ain't no better 

Than a heart torn from the street 

And I'd trade in my heart of stone 

For a warmer place to sleep 

[Chorus]
