“Unmade Bed” is the second song and first single from Sonic Youth’s Sonic Nurse, released in 2004. The song was released as a promotional single on CD, and was intended to have an accompanying music video, which was unfortunately never made.
Look who's come back home again
Loser looking for his lucky break
This time he says he just needs a friend
Ain't on the run he ain't on the take
Can you unlock this door babe
Will you just undo the chain
Will you take your time before you
Mix up love, his love and pain
Loneliness lays down his head
Wants to get you high, better take it now
A man like that's like an unmade bed
Stained eyes searching for another way out
Do you really even want this
Maybe you just don't care
All I know it takes just one kiss, babe
For you - he's never there
Hey I know it's kind of hard
And maybe this time it will never end
Hit and run lover back in your heart
All those answered prayers that you never have sent
Because now that you're in his arms babe
You know you're just in his way
Suckered by his fatal charm, oh girl
It's time we get away
Unmade Bed was written by Thurston Moore & Steve Shelley & Lee Ranaldo & Kim Gordon & Jim O’Rourke.
