I've been lying in a bed of coals
 I've been cryng out of control
 I roll and I tumble
 Every time I come down
 I'm too old to die young
 And too young to die now
 
 I've been sleeping on a bed of nails
 I've been bleeding - it never fails
 I feel every needle
 That pierced through my heart
 I'm too old to die young
 And I can't play the part
 
 Bed of coals
 Bed of nails
 Through the smoke
 Behind the veils
 Bed of coals
 Bed of nails
 Through the smoke
 Behind the veils
 
 I"ve been lying in a bed of stone
 I"ve been dying all alone
 I pray for the power to turn it around
 I'm too old to die young
 And too young to die now
 
 Bed of coals
 Bed of nails
 Through the smoke
 Behind the veils
 Bed of coals
 Bed of nails
 Through the smoke
 Behind the veils
