Notes:

Caitlin Cary to AnsweringBell:  I think you've got the title right, if memory serves.  I also think that I may have inspired this song because I remember talking about the act of first buying a bed after breaking up with a guy I lived with for a long time -- the first bed I ever bought for myself.  I honestly don't remember if I penned any of these lines, but the song meant something to me, and I sure can remember singing it!

Lyrics:  

Sometimes I wake up at night, and I

Think about the day that I shall die

Wondering what that will feel like, puts a

Shivering chill in my bones as I lie

On the bed that I bought, yet, never liked

 

This anxiety, it follows my shadow

It haunts me, 'til I go drinking at night

So I wander through record stores thinking 'bout

Teenage rebellion, and how that once taught me

To laugh in the face of the day I shall die

I shall surely, surely die.
