Cover art for The Bed Song lyrics by Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra

It's about how people in relationships gradually drift apart, and stop communicating, and how terrible this can be emotionally. There's nothing about materialism. The point she's making is how, when you're in your twenties, etc, all you really have is each other, but gradually life pulls you apart until you have everything except each other.
