Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
~#**************#~
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I dont know
~#**************#~
‘Cause a bottle of Vodka is still lodged in my head
~#**************#~
And some blonde gave me nightmares
~#**************#~
I think that shes still in my bed
~#**************#~
As I dream about movies they wont make of me when Im dead
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
With an ironclad fist, I wake up and French kiss the morning
~#**************#~
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while were 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 youre all that I need
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
~#**************#~
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
~#**************#~
Oh I wanna be just as close as
~#**************#~
The Holy Ghost is
~#**************#~
And lay you down
~#**************#~
On a bed of roses
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
Well Im so far away, that each step that I takes on my way home
~#**************#~
A kings ransom in dimes Id give each night to see through this payphone
~#**************#~
Still I run out of time or its hard to get through
~#**************#~
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
~#**************#~
Ill just close my eyes and whisper
~#**************#~
Baby, blind love is true
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
~#**************#~
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
~#**************#~
Oh I want to be just as close as
~#**************#~
The Holy Ghost is
~#**************#~
And lay you down
~#**************#~
On a bed of roses
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Well, this hotel bars hangover whiskeys gone dry
~#**************#~
The barkeepers wigs crooked
~#**************#~
And shes giving me the eye
~#**************#~
I might have said yeah
~#**************#~
But I laughed so hard I think I died
~#**************#~
Ooh yeah
~#**************#~
[Guitar solo]
~#**************#~
[Verse 4]
~#**************#~
Now as you close your eyes know Ill be thinking about you
~#**************#~
While my mistress she calls me
~#**************#~
To stand in her spotlight again
~#**************#~
Tonight, I wont be alone
~#**************#~
But you know that dont mean Im not lonely
~#**************#~
Ive got nothing to prove for its you that Id die to defend
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
~#**************#~
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
~#**************#~
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 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
