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 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 dead
With an iron clad fist
I wake up and french kiss the morning
While some marching band keep it's own beat in my head
while we're talking
about all of the things
that I long to believe
about love the truth
and what you mean to me
and the truth is
baby you all that I need
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
Well I'm so far away
that each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes
I'd give each night just to see through this pay phone
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
till the bird on the wire
fies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes
and whisper
baby blind love is true
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
Well the hotel bar hang over
whiskey's gone dry
The bar keeper's wig's croaked
And she's giving me the eyes
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard
I think I died Woo yeah@
Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me to stand
in her spot light again
Tonight 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 clefend
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
