Big Brass Bed Lyrics - Singles - Waterdeep

If i could lie in a bed of moss 

and sleep and dream the nights away 

i'd make the world count its cost 

for a big brass bed 

And rivers would lullaby me to sleep 

as i'd curl up in a blanket of leaves 

while you'd doze off to the drone of police 

and the firing of lead 

All the children are nestled snug in their beds 

All the tvs blare curses and laugh at the dead 

and the vagabond runs from this Vagabond Age 

For the castles down the block have electric private eyes 

and the neighbor gives you looks that say you're somewhat despised 

and your car that's been stolen makes you almost want to cry out for 

the firing of lead. 

You shuffle your papers you'll take to the zoo 

you frown on the way and then smile upon cue 

and everyone know just what they're supposed to do 

for their big brass bed 

If i could lie in green pastures and rest 

far from alarms and the cold hard cement 

i'd send all the world my bill for its rent 

and its big brass bed
