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´s still lodged in my hand
and some blonde 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 and french kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its 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 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
Each step that I take is on my way home
a king´s ransom in dimes I´d give each night
to speak 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

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

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 want to be just as close as, the Holy Ghost is,
and lay you down on a bed of roses.
