Bed Of Roses

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's still lodged in my head
 And some blonde gave me nightmares
 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, 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'll sleep on a bed of nails
 Oh 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
 Each step that I take is on my way home
 A king's ransom in dimes, I'd give each night
 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'll sleep on a bed of nails
 Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
 And lay you down on a bed of roses
 Well this hotel bar's 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
 Ooh yeah
 ♪
 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 want to lay you down in a bed of roses
 For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
 I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
 And lay you down
 I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
 For tonight I'll 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
