The Bed Lyrics

Cover art for The Bed lyrics by Lou Reed

In my opinion, this is one of the most haunting and beautiful songs ever written. This is aftermath of the climax--an act of desperation after all is lost. It fits gorgeously between "The Kids" and segues well into the stunning, emotional dirge that is "Sad Song." The choir at the end only adds to the effect; it's a soulful conclusion to a powerful work.
