Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 I used to be a king alone

 Like Solomon or Rehoboam

 And in the eaves the corvidae

 did jealous keep my picture frames

 and everything did oxidate in place

[verse 2 with different ending]

 But then you came, a single cell

 with astrolabe and carousel

 and algebra and symmetry

 and none of this was lost on me

 and I could see how still I'd been before

 If I don't eat, I don't sleep at all.

Bridge 1

 Like limbs in procession,

 like so many birds,

 stampeding like oxen,

 our hearts are a herd,

Chorus 1

 I loved you in the bed,

 I loved you in the best way possible,

 I loved you in the bed,

Bridge 2

Did you see the light in my heart?

Did you see the sweat on my brow?

Did you see the fear in my heart?

Did you see me bleeding it out?

[chorus 2 and end]

 I loved you in the bed,

 I loved you in the best way possible,

 I loved you in the best way possible,

 I loved you in the best way possible,

 I loved you in the best way possible,

 I loved you in the bed.
