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 to 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 longed to believe, about love, the truth
And what you mean to me and the truth is
Baby you're all that I need
Refrão
I 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
Lay you down, on a bed of roses
Segunda Parte
Well I'm so far away, each step that I take's 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"
Refrão
I 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
Lay you down, on a bed of roses
Well this hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeps wig's crooked, and she's giving me the eye
(Rhythm fig. #1)
Well I might've said yeah, but I laughed so hard I think I died
(UHHH Yeah)
Terceira Parte
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've got nothing to prove, for it's you I'd die to defend
Refrão
I 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
Lay you down, on a bed of roses
I 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
Lay you down, on a bed of roses
