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 deadWith 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 talkingAbout all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
And the truth is
Baby, you're all that I needI wanna 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 rosesWell, 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 payphoneStill 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 trueI wanna 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 rosesWell, this hotel bar's 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
Oh, yeahNow, as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress, she calls me
To stand in her spotlight againTonight 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 defendI wanna 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 downI wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
