Bed Of Roses



Lyrics

Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment
This morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies they won't make of me
When I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat
In my head while we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth and what you mean to me
And the truth is
Baby, you're all that I need

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
Each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper
Baby, blind love is true

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
Well I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me to stand
In her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
but you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
