Hüsker Dü - Bed of Nails lyrics

[Hüsker Dü - Bed of Nails lyrics]

I can walk the bed of nails
I'm not the only one
But some, they cannot walk the jagged line
Callous, concentrating
For nails are sharp as lies
I run the jagged line

From years and years of practice
I know just how to stand
Alone with perfect balance, hand in hand
Prepared with boards and hammers
And several bags of nails
Well, I could build a wall to lean on
Roof above my mind
But, I can see you've got your own plans
Please don't drive your nails into
This heart of mine drive your nails
Don't drive your nails
Into this heart of mine

I can walk the bed of nails


Grin and bear the pain but some
They cannot deal with all these things
And always sacrificing
For lies are sharp as nails
And all the pain it brings

Sometimes I just pretend that all
The lies are true
And then I know I might depend on you
But, if my concentration breaks
I'm washed away with pain
And then my feet begin to bleed
Upon my only bed of nails
And I'm stuck here in the middle
Of a sea of lies inside my bed of nails

Inside my bed inside my bed of nails

From years and years of practice
I know just how to stand
Alone with perfect balance, hand in hand
Prepared with boards and hammers
And several bags of nails
Well, I could build a wall to lean on
Roof above my mind
I can see you've got your own plans
Please don't drive your nails into
This heart of mine

Well, please, don't drive these nails into
This heart of mine
Please don't drive these nails into
This heart of mine well, please
Don't drive these nails into
This heart of mine
Please don't drive these nails into
This heart of mine
Please don't drive these nails into
This heart of mine
Please don't drive these nails into
This heart of mine
