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 |
Is 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 |
Its own beat in my head |
While we're talking |
About all of the things that I long to believe |
About love and the truth and |
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 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 |
Well 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 in a bed of roses |
For tonight I 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 |
The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry |
The barkeeper's wig's crooked |
And she's giving me the eye |
I might have said yeah |
But I laughed so hard I think I died |
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 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 |
