Bed Of Roses Lyrics

[00:35.37] Sitting here wasted and wounded
[00:38.69] At this old piano
[00:43.48] Trying hard to capture
[00:46.10] The moment this morning I don't know
[00:52.03] 'Cause a bottle of Vodka's still lodged in my head
[00:56.77] And some blonde gave me nightmares
[00:59.46] Think that she's still in my bed
[01:03.30]
[01:05.46] As I dream about movies
[01:07.81] They won't make of me when I'm dead
[01:12.03]
[01:14.64] With an ironclad fist
[01:17.02] I wake up and french kiss the morning
[01:20.64]
[01:23.07] While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head
[01:27.51] While we're talking
[01:32.05] About all of the things that I long to believe
[01:36.58] About love, the truth, what you mean to me
[01:41.23] And the truth is
[01:45.59] Baby you're all that I need
[01:49.06]
[01:51.35] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[02:00.36] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[02:08.01] Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[02:18.38] And lay you down on a bed of roses
[02:27.10]
[02:29.37] Well I'm so far away
[02:31.79] Each step that I take is on my way home
[02:35.46]
[02:37.81] A king's ransom in dimes, I'd give each night
[02:41.70] To see through this payphone
[02:46.52] Still I run out of time
[02:49.09] Or it's hard to get through
[02:51.36] Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
[02:55.82] I'll just close my eyes and whisper
[03:00.43] "Baby, blind love is true"
[03:05.95] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[03:15.00] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[03:22.61] Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[03:33.04] And lay you down on a bed of roses
[03:41.59]
[03:43.70] Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
[03:48.24] The barkeeper's wig's crooked
[03:50.62] And she's giving me the eye
[03:52.77] Well I might have said yeah
[03:56.31] But I laughed so hard I think I died
[04:01.83] Ooh yeah
[04:05.80]
[04:40.62] Now as you close your eyes
[04:43.24] Know I'll be thinking about you
[04:48.91] While my mistress she calls me
[04:51.64] To stand in her spotlight again
[04:57.08] Tonight I won't be alone
[05:00.30] But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
[05:06.38] I've got nothing to prove
[05:08.78] For it's you that I'd die to defend
[05:14.65] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[05:23.44] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[05:31.69] I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[05:41.34] And lay you down
[05:49.41] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[05:58.39] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[06:06.65] I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[06:16.22] And lay you down
[06:23.12] On a bed of roses
[06:26.49]
