Bed Of Roses

Sitting here wasting and mourning with this old piano

Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know

'Cause a bottle of vodka's too large in my head

Some blonde gave me nightmares, think that she's still in my bed

It's a dream about movies that you won't make of me when I'm dead

With an air on cleft fist, I wake up and French kiss the morning

While some marching band keeps a zombie in my head while we're talking

About all of the things that I long to believe, but love the truth

And you mean to me and the truth is

Ooh baby you're all that I need

Wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For the night I will sleep on a mouse

I wanna be just as close as you are

As the Holy Ghost tears and lays you down

In a bed of roses

Well, I'm so far away

That steps that I take on my way home

A king's ransom and dimes

I give each night to see truth is paid for

Still I run out of time, it's hard to get true to the bird on the wire

Flies me back to you, I just close my eyes and wish her

Baby, blind love is true

And I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For the night I will sleep on the house I want to be just as close as the holy ghost

Lay you down on a bed of roses Well, this hotel bed hangover whiskey's gone

dry The barkeeper went crooked and she's givin'

me the eye My head's sayin', "But I left so hard I think

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, you know don't mean I'm not lonely

I've got nothing to prove for it's you I would die to do for you

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses For the night I would sleep on the house

Oh, 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 will sleep on the bed

I wanna be just as cozy as the holy ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses
