BED OF ROSES
Sitting here wasted and woundedat this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know'
Cause a bottle of vodkais still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmaresI think 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 andFrench kiss the morning
While some marching band keepsits own beat in my head
While we're talkingAbout all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth andwhat you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need
I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of rosesWell I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given 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 on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crookedAnd she's giving me the eye
I might have 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 meTo stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be aloneBut 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 on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
