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 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 it's 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 wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For Tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails. ohh
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And Lay you down, on a bed of roses
Verse two
Well I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home.
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this pay phone.
Still I'd 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
Whisper baby blind love is true
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For Tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails. ohh
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And Lay you down, on a bed of roses
Well this hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkepper's wig's crooked, and she's giving me the eye
Well I might've said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died oh yeah
Silence
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 its you that I'd die to defend
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For Tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails. ohh
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And Lay you down, on a bed of roses
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For Tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails. ohh
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And Lay you down, on a bed of roses
