Well, I took another napAt 9 o'clockHad a dream of a manThought the summer was too hotEleventh of MayA Sunday afternoonIf the end will ever comeThen it's coming up real soon"Take your hand now off of that thing -I can't stand toBreak another string," he saidI shook his dirty handAnd he smiled and said: "Right about this hourI bet you wishing you were dead." I told him he was wrongBut he saw through my bluffSaid, "Once you had a little - Well, you'll never have enough." Lured into the bed of a California kingWell I knew it would itchBut how bad can this sting getSongtexteWell I closed my hand around itAnd I pulled it so tightYou know barbed wire round the wristWell it never felt so rightMarching through the ValleyOf the Shadow of LoveSaid once you're doing time - Well, you'll never do enoughOff of the wagon, into the fire"Rather burned by truthThan be caught in a lie," it saidWell I rose on out of bedAround twelve A.M.Yeah I know you're so concernedBut I'm really OK, man... You can never ever getUs to admitThat I been doing timeIn a bed of shit"So you take your fingers now off of my pulse - Know it's been a whileSince you've seen me come close," I saidWell it'll take a whileBut I'm coming aroundSlowly, slowly I'mComing on downAnd it'll be a whileBefore I show my faceAnd you can peel the maskOf my disgraceAnd you won't see it comingBut it's coming to youWhen you close your eyesAnd when you light the fuseIt'll all come downIn a bolt of fireIt'll all come down...
