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
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
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'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

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
To see through this pay phone

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 tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails

I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a 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

But I laughed so hard I think I died

Ooh 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
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 tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails

I wanna 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'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses
