Sitting here wasted and wounded
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
Think 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 keepsits own beat
In my head while we're talking
About 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 need
I wanna lay
You down in a bed of roses
For tonite
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
Step that I take is on my way home
King's ransom in dimes
Given each night 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, whisper
Baby, blind love is true
I wanna lay
You down in a bed of roses
For tonite
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 this hotel bar 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, uh yeah!...
] --- (3x) --- -*
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
Tonite, 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 defend
I wanna lay
You down in a bed of roses
For tonite
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 wanna lay
You down in a bed of roses
For tonite
I sleep on a be...ed of nails!
I want to be
Just as close as
The Holy Ghost is!
