Bed Of Roses Lyrics

[00:35.20] Sitting here wasted and wounded
[00:38.80] At this old piano
[00:43.35] Trying hard to capture
[00:46.04] The moment this morning I don't know
[00:52.21] 'Cause a bottle of Vodka's still lodged in my head
[00:56.83] And some blonde gave me nightmares
[00:59.56] Think that she's still in my bed
[01:03.38]
[01:05.45] As I dream about movies
[01:08.05] They won't make of me when I'm dead
[01:12.04]
[01:14.60] With an ironclad fist
[01:17.07] I wake up and french kiss the morning
[01:20.62]
[01:23.00] While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head
[01:27.59] While we're talking
[01:31.86] About all of the things that I long to believe
[01:36.58] About love, the truth, what you mean to me
[01:41.07] And the truth is
[01:45.62] Baby you're all that I need
[01:51.02] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[02:00.37] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[02:07.66] Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[02:18.35] And lay you down on a bed of roses
[02:28.97] Well I'm so far away
[02:31.61] Each step that I take is on my way home
[02:35.16] A king's ransom in dimes, I'd give each night
[02:41.68] To see through this payphone
[02:46.46] Still I run out of time
[02:48.85] Or it's hard to get through
[02:51.23] Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
[02:55.74] I'll just close my eyes and whisper
[03:00.30] "Baby, blind love is true"
[03:05.88] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[03:15.04] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[03:22.39] Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[03:33.03] And lay you down on a bed of roses
[03:43.58] Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
[03:47.91] The barkeeper's wig's crooked
[03:50.46] And she's giving me the eye
[03:52.45] Well I might have said yeah
[03:56.56] But I laughed so hard I think I died
[04:02.52] Ooh yeah
[04:05.73]
[04:40.35] Now as you close your eyes
[04:42.94] Know I'll be thinking about you
[04:48.72] While my mistress she calls me
[04:51.54] To stand in her spotlight again
[04:56.80] Tonight I won't be alone
[05:00.11] But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
[05:06.02] I've got nothing to prove
[05:08.62] For it's you that I'd die to defend
[05:14.34] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[05:23.49] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[05:30.68] I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[05:41.37] And lay you down
[05:49.15] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[05:58.20] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[06:06.63] I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[06:16.04] And lay you down
[06:20.86] On a bed of roses
[06:25.08]
