Dead Man In My Bed Lyrics - Nocturama - Nick Cave

Well, 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 

"'Cause there's a dead man in my bed", she said 

Smile you see upon his face 

Its been there for many days 

Theres a dead man in my bed 

Well, I aint been feeling that good 

Too much, no more, she said, I swear 

She pointed at the bedroom door 

Said, I aint going in there 

She leaped out of her seat 

And screamed, Someones not concentrating here 

'Cause there's a dead man in my bed, she said 

Aint speaking metaphorically 

His eyes are open but he cannot see 

Theres a dead man in my bed 

Well, 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 

Theres a dead man in my bed, she said 

Though he keeps on taking notes 

I swear this aint some kind of hoax 

Dead man in my bed 

Well, now, shes in the kitchen 

Rattling those pots and pans 

Id 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's a dead man in my bed, she said 

I keep poking at him with my stick 

His skin is just so fucking thick 

Theres a dead man in my bed 

Well, weve gotta get it all together 

Weve gotta get it all together 

Weve gotta get it all together 

Weve gotta get it all together
