Narrow Bed Lyrics - Asking For Forever - Lex Zaleta

Centuries of sin 

Have done this planet in; 

Have left us all 

Shaken and afraid. 

Too late to begin 

To turn to the truth again; 

We must sleep in 

The narrow bed 

We've made. 

Pharisees and pharaohs, 

And famine's evil arrows 

All have fallen 

And decayed. 

But I fear I see tomorrow 

In the fall of the sparrow. 

We must sleep in 

The narrow bed 

We've made. 

The letter of the law 

Was all you ever saw; 

You never saw 

The sentence 

To be paid. 

When you go to bed tonight, 

Don't expect the morning light. 

You must sleep in 

The narrow bed 

You've made. 

Caught down near the water, 

With Pharaoh's daughter, 

On a cool, crisp, Cairo day. 

He spoke as any father, 

Saying, "You broke her; 

Now you bought her. 

Now take these two away; 

They must sleep in 

The narrow bed 

They've made." 

You've never felt the hunger, 

Even when you were much younger; 

Your billions were all that you displayed. 

Now, you'll find your feasting 

All is hollow, 

And you'll find this 

Hard to swallow: 

You must sleep in 

The narrow bed 

You've made. 

Centuries of sin 

Have done this planet in, 

Have left us all 

Shaken and afraid. 

Too late to begin 

To turn to the truth again; 

We must sleep in 

The narrow bed 

We've made.
