Bed Of Roses Lyrics

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 blond gave me
nightmares

                                               I think that he'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 on a bed of
roses

                                              For tonite I sleep on a bed on
nails

                                        I want to be just as close as the Holy
Ghost is

                                                And lay you down on 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 given
each night

                                               Just to see through this
payphone

                                                      But I'm so far away

                                                  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,

                                                       blind love is true



                                            I want to lay you down on a bed of
roses

                                              For tonite I sleep on a bed on
nails

                                        I want to be just as close as the Holy
Ghost is

                                                And lay you down on 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



                                                    When you close your eyes

                                                Know I'll be thinking about you

                                                    When my mystery calls me

                                                To stand in this spotlight
again

                                                    Tonite 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 on a bed of
roses

                                              For tonite I sleep on a bed on
nails

                                        I want to be just as close as the Holy
Ghost is

                                                And lay you down on bed of
roses
