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 blond 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 ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss the morning While some marching band keeps 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´re all that I need... I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails Ohhh, I want to be just as close as The Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses. Well I´m so far away. 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 payphone Still 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 true I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails Ohhh, I want to be just as close as The Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses Well this hotel bar´s Hangover whiskey´s gone dry The barkeeper´s wig´s crooked And she´s giving me the eye Well I might have said yeah Well I laughed so hard I think I died Uhh, yeah... Now as you close your eyes Know I´ll be thinking about you While my mistress she calls me To stand in her spotlight again Tonight I won´t be alone To know that don´t Mean I´m not lonely I got nothing to prove For it´s you that I´d die to defend I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails Ohh, I want to be just as close as The Holy Ghost is And lay you down I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails I want to be just as close as The Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses
