Bed Of Roses

[00:35.64] Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano,

[00:46.10] Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know

[00:55.16] 'Cause a bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head,

[01:00.74] And some blonde gave me nightmares.

[01:02.87] I think that she's still in my bed.

[01:09.50] As I dream about movies

[01:11.63] They won't make of me when I'm dead.

[01:18.53] With an ironclad fist I wake up and French-kiss the morning

[01:25.71] While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're talking

[01:34.74] About all of the things that I long to believe:

[01:39.79] About love, the truth, what you mean to me.

[01:44.83] And the truth is,

[01:46.16] Baby, you're all that I need.

[01:54.13] I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses,

[02:03.43] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails.

[02:10.89] Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is,

[02:21.83] And lay you down on a bed of roses.

[02:32.66] Well, I'm so far away.

[02:35.07] Each step that I take is on my way home.

[02:40.64] A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this pay-phone.

[02:49.42] Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through.

[02:54.21] 'Til the bird on the wire flies me back to you

[02:58.99] I'll just close my eyes and whisper,

[03:04.05] "Baby, blind love is true."

[03:09.11] I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses,

[03:18.14] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails.

[03:25.85] Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is,

[03:36.47] And lay you down on a bed of roses.

[03:46.83] Well, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry.

[03:51.88] The barkeeper's wig's crooked and she's giving me the eye.

[03:55.61] Well, I might have said yeah

[04:00.38] But I laughed so hard I think I died.

[04:38.63] Now as you close your eyes

[04:46.08] Know I'll be thinking about you.

[04:52.19] While my mistress—she calls me

[04:55.12] To stand in her spotlight again.

[05:00.96] Tonight I won't be alone,

[05:04.42] But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely.

[05:12.38] I've got nothing to prove

[05:13.18] For it's you that I'd die to defend.

[05:17.43] I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses,

[05:26.99] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails.

[05:34.43] Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is,

[05:44.78] And lay you down.

[05:50.36] I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses,

[06:01.52] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails.

[06:10.28] Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is,

[06:20.11] And lay you down on a bed of roses
