Well I've been up to the mountain
Seen the ashes down below
I had breakfast with the wise man
He told me what he thought I should know

And I've been to bed with Jezebel
And I found the well was deep
And I'd trade in my ambitions
For a warmer place to sleep
And I'd trade in my ambitions
For a warmer place to sleep

Well I've seen the heart of darkness
Read the writing on the wall
And the voice out in the desert
Was the voice I heard out in the hall

And once he called me Abel
And once he called me Cain
And for forty days and forty nights
I slept out in the rain

Girl can you share your warm bed tonight
I need to find a safe retreat
Someplace where they can't see my eyes
I need to find a warmer place to sleep

I need to find a warmer place to sleep

Well I rested in the devil's arms
I've chased the hounds of hell
I played truth or dare with the angels
And as far as I could tell

That a heart of gold ain't no better
Than a heart torn from the street
And I'd trade in my heart of stone
For a warmer place to sleep
And I'd trade in my heart of stone
For a warmer place to sleep

Girl can you share your warm bed tonight
I need to find a safe retreat
Someplace where I can't see my eyes
I need to find a warmer place to sleep
I need to find a warmer place to sleep
I need to find a warmer place to sleep
I need to find a warmer place to sleep
I need to find a warmer place to sleep
I need to find a warmer place to sleep
I need to find a warmer place to sleep

Well I've been up to the mountain
Seen the ashes down below
I had breakfast with the wise man
