I thought of you in blue and red

I thought of you when you were playing

I thought of you in my bed

You were there, bound and chained

I thought of you there next to me

Wearing your pretty face

I thought of everything you could be

Sleeping in the devil's bed

I looked at you when lights were low

And I payed for what I had

I looked at you way down below

Till I felt I was going mad

I think of you when I tell myself

And the fever rises high

I think of you and I get what's comin'

Sleeping in the devil's bed

I thought of you up there on the ladder

I thought of you when I heard the news

I thought of you and it didn't matter

If I accepted, you'll refuse

I wanted you and I wanted more

I wanted everything

I wanted what I couldn't get (give?)

Sleeping in the devil's bed

In the devil's bed

I woke up in the steady rain

I woke up when you said

It's late and I'm feeling heavy

Could you hold my aching head

I found myself tangled in wire

I found you there in my dream

I found you in desire

You had left the devil's bed

You had left the devil's bed

You had left the devil's bed
