Bed of Roses
[00:34.82] Sitting here wasted and wounded
[00:38.32] At this old piano
[00:43.07] Trying hard to capture
[00:45.57] The moment this morning I don't know
[00:52.07] 'Cause a bottle of vodka
[00:54.32] Is still lodged in my head
[00:56.57] And some blonde gave me nightmares
[00:59.32] I think that she's still in my bed
[01:05.07] As I dream about movies
[01:08.07] They won't make of me when I'm dead
[01:14.32] With an ironclad fist I wake up and
[01:17.82] French kiss the morning
[01:22.57] While some marching band keeps
[01:25.07] Its own beat in my head
[01:27.07] While we're talking
[01:31.57] About all of the things that I long to believe
[01:35.82] About love and the truth and
[01:38.57] What you mean to me
[01:40.82] And the truth is baby you're all that I need
[01:50.57] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[01:59.82] For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
[02:08.82] I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[02:18.07] And lay you down on a bed of roses
[02:28.57] Well I'm so far away
[02:31.32] That each step that I take is on my way home
[02:37.57] A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
[02:41.32] Just to see through this payphone
[02:46.07] Still I run out of time
[02:48.32] Or it's hard to get through
[02:50.82] Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
[02:55.32] I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
[03:00.07] Baby blind love is true
[03:05.57] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[03:14.57] For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
[03:23.32] I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[03:32.57] And lay you down on a bed of roses
[03:43.07] The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
[03:47.82] The barkeeper's wig's crooked
[03:50.07] And she's giving me the eye
[03:52.32] I might have said yeah
[03:56.32] But I laughed so hard I think I died
[04:40.07] Now as you close your eyes
[04:42.82] Know I'll be thinking about you
[04:48.32] While my mistress she calls me
[04:51.08] To stand in her spotlight again
[04:56.58] Tonite I won't be alone
[04:59.83] But you know that don't
[05:01.07] Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
[05:08.32] For it's you that I'd die to defend
[05:14.07] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[05:23.08] For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
[05:31.32] I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[05:41.07] And lay you down And lay you down on a bed of roses
[05:57.82] For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
[06:06.32] I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[06:15.57] And lay you down on a bed of roses
