The Bed Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We're sleeping underneath the bed
To scare the monsters out
With our dear daddy's Smith and Wesson
We've gotta teach them all a lesson
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't move
Don't scream or we will have to shoot
[Chorus]
Stop right where you stand
We need a chalk outline if you can
Put your hands where we can see them, please
[Verse 2]
We're holding up the lids of our eyes
And showing just the whites
"Mary, no one has such small hands
No, not the wind, not even that."
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't move
Don't scream or we will have to shoot
[Chorus]
Stop right where you stand
We need a chalk outline if you can
Put your hands where we can see them, please
We're sleeping underneath the bed
To scare the monsters out
With our dear daddy's Smith and Wesson
We've gotta teach them all a lesson
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't move
Don't scream or we will have to shoot
[Chorus]
Stop right where you stand
We need a chalk outline if you can
Put your hands where we can see them, please
[Verse 2]
We're holding up the lids of our eyes
And showing just the whites
"Mary, no one has such small hands
No, not the wind, not even that."
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't move
Don't scream or we will have to shoot
[Chorus]
Stop right where you stand
We need a chalk outline if you can
Put your hands where we can see them, please
[Chorus]
Stop right where you stand
We need a chalk outline if you can
Put your hands where we can see them, please
Stop right where you stand
We need a chalk outline if you can
Put your hands where we can see them, please

What did St. Vincent say about "The Bed"?
Genius Answer
When asked by GQ in January 2019 which song(s) in her discography stood out as her favorite, Clark responded with “The Bed,” adding:
I’m really proud of the color palette on the song called “The Bed.” It was not a top 10 hit, I can assure you! It’s probably one of the darkest in my catalogue, but I’m really proud of the composition – it’s really, like, pastel and pretty. I think that was the most Debussy I ever went. Not comparing myself to Debussy, just some of the colours are similar.
