Bed of roses
Keep the faith
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 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 marchind band keeps it´s own beat in my head
While we´re talking about all the things that I ling to believe
About love and truth and what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you´re all that I need
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well I´m so far away that each step that I take´s 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 want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to 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
I might said yeah but I laughed so hard I think I died
When 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 want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
