"Bed of Nails"

Bed of Nails

Life is like a bed of nails.
Just about the time you think you can rest,
Someone comes along and steals your nest.
Just about the time you think you'll make it,
Someone comes along to take it.
And when you think you can slow down a bit,
Someone brings you a load of 'shit'!
Then you think you've found "The One"
Just to find out it was just for fun.

Why is it always true
That trouble seems to stick like glue?
And no matter what you do
It inevitably comes back to you.
So never sleep too long or too sound.
Trouble's always hanging 'round.
Stay alert and sleep light.
Always be ready to fight.
Don't move too fast or too slow.
Just be ready to go!
