Dethbed Lyrics
Calling all cars, all coroners, we got a dead one here
And anybody else receiving this, the west coast is far from clear
Like a time bomb, a sudden death
It's gonna find you when you least expect
It's gonna leave you the emptiest feeling inside
They found me face down in the street
On the night you left to find another place to sleep
In rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you
Falling like stars into the ocean black, we're gonna disappear
And anything left recognisable is swept away with fear
We got our hearts dipped in time release
We got the know-how and the elbow grease
We got our victim all cut up down here on the floor
They found me face down in the street
On the night you left to find another place to sleep
In rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you
...One but you
...One but you
They found me face down in the street
On the night you left to find another place to sleep
In rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you
And anybody else receiving this, the west coast is far from clear
Like a time bomb, a sudden death
It's gonna find you when you least expect
It's gonna leave you the emptiest feeling inside
On the night you left to find another place to sleep
In rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you
And anything left recognisable is swept away with fear
We got our hearts dipped in time release
We got the know-how and the elbow grease
We got our victim all cut up down here on the floor
On the night you left to find another place to sleep
In rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you
...One but you
On the night you left to find another place to sleep
In rain and regret
They said they tried everything but it was no use
Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you

I agree with HappyTrash's interpretation, but there would be no reason for matt to just make up a murder story like that, a good song writer always throws in the old double-entendre. I think that the whole song is just a big metaphor for what happens when you get put on the receiving end of a bad heartbreak.
Great song off their new cd. I love their new cd, should be out around May. I think it's better than Good Mourning.
great song. I think its talking about a girl moving out and he kills himself and the police and people finding him there in the street. Im pretty stupid if this is obviously something different tell me hwat cause im curious what was thinking for this song. It seems single-ish and i hope it does end up being a single.
where have you heard it?? please tell me i cant find it anywhere
its so tempting to dl these new songs. i love this band and i want to enjoy every song of this album. its like secretly opening presents before christmas morning. but really, if youre going to dl these just buy the cd anyway and support alkaline they are so awesome
another very good tune from matt
Best song on the new album for me, and probably deserving of the single.
"Like a time bomb, a sudden death It's gonna find you when you least expect It's gonna leave you the emptiest feeling inside"
It sounds like he's talking about love in general here, how it just sort of happens and then leaves you broken. The song seems to be about someone dying inside after his girl up and leaves.
I think the person 'died' inside, too. When it says
"Yeah, they tried everything and everyone but you" I think it means that his only cure for love is the person he was in love with.
This song is amazing. It's real name is Dethbed though.
yah i saw that on the site, i assumed it was a typo.
