Bed Of Roses

Sittin' here wasting 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 blonde 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 his own beat in my head while he's talking

About all the things that I long to believe about love and truth

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'll sleep on a bed of nails

I want to be just as close as Holy Ghost as lay you down on a bed of roses

well I'm so far away each step that I takes on my way home a king's ransom and

dimes I'd give each night to see through this payphone still I run out of time

it's hard to get through to 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 roses. Oh, I want to be just as close as

Holy ghosts lay you down on a bed of roses

Well, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry

The barkeeper's wig's crooked, she's givin' me the eye

I might have said yeah, but I laughed so hard I think I died

Oh 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 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

Oh, I wanna be just as close as a holy ghost as lay you down

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses. For tonight I sleep on a bed of roses. I wanna be just as close as Holy Ghost has laid you down.

On a bed of roses
