Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I dont know
cause a bottle of vodkas still lodged in my hand
and some blonde gave me nightmares, i think that shes still in my bed
as I dream about movies they wont make of me when Im dead.

With an ironclad fist, I wake up and french kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while were 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 youre all that I need.

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight Ill 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.

Well Im so far away
Each step that I take is on my way home
a kings ransom in dimes Id give each night
to speak through this payphone
still I run out of time or its hard to get through
till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
ill just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight Ill 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.

The hotel bar hangover whiskeys gone dry
The barkeepers wigs crooked
and shes giving me the eye
Well I might have said yeah
but I laughed so hard I think I died.

now as you close your eyes, know Ill be thinking about you
while my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
tonight, I wont be alone but you know that dont mean Im not lonely
ive got nothing to prove
for its you that Id die to defend.

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight Ill 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
