Strophe)
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
Strophe)
With an ironclad fist
I wake up, and French kiss the morning
While some marching band keepsitz own beat
in my head while we´re talkiing
About all of the things, that I long to believe
About love, the truth, what you men to me
And the truth is
Baby, you´re all that I need
Refrain)
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
Fot 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
Strophe)
Well I´m so far away
Step that I take os on my way home
King´s ranson 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
Files me back to you
I´ll just close my eyes, whisper
Baby, blind love is true
Refrain)
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
Fot 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
Bridge)
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 jeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died, u jeah
Solo) ....
Strophe)
Now as you close your eyes
Know I´ll be thinking ybout you
While my mistress she call 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
Refrain)
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
Fot 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
Fot 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
