Heaven's Bed Lyrics - Adrian Belew

"isn't this a dull affair 

Enough to make me lose my hair 

Tax returns and future earnings," 

I thought to myself, 

"still the gods haven't lost their flair 

At least they put me and her together" 

And just as I was about to tell her, 

She said to me, 

"take me up to heaven 

Up into the sky 

Our love is strong enough to fly" 

There I sat with the paper in my lap 

Reading facts about terrible acts 

'kids with guns kill for fun', 

So I started to preach 

"that's the trouble with society", I said, 

"no respect for humanity" 

And just as I was building up steam, 

She said to me 

"take me up to heaven 

Up into the sky 

Our love is strong enough to fly" 

Lay your dreams beneath my head 

Up here on heaven's bed 

Let your eyes be the stars in the night 

Up here on heaven's bed 

"you need to leave your mind alone", she said to me.
