▶️ Bed Of Roses
[00:37.60] Sitting here wasted and wounded
[00:40.52] At this old piano
[00:45.83] Trying hard to capture
[00:47.69] The moment this morning I don't know
[00:54.34] 'Cause a bottle of Vodka's still lodged in my head
[00:58.59] And some blonde gave me nightmares
[01:01.51] Think that she's still in my bed
[01:07.61] As I dream about movies
[01:09.79] They won't make of me when I'm dead
[01:16.69] With an ironclad fist
[01:18.86] I wake up and french kiss the morning
[01:25.51] While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head
[01:29.75] While we're talking
[01:34.30] About all of the things that I long to believe
[01:38.54] About love, the truth, what you mean to me
[01:42.81] And the truth is
[01:47.62] Baby you're all that I need
[01:53.20] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[02:02.49] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[02:09.92] Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[02:20.30] And lay you down on a bed of roses
[02:31.44] Well I'm so far away
[02:33.56] Each step that I take is on my way home
[02:40.21] A king's ransom in dimes, I'd give each night
[02:43.93] To see through this payphone
[02:48.71] Still I run out of time
[02:50.57] Or it's hard to get through
[02:53.22] Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
[02:57.48] I'll just close my eyes and whisper
[03:01.99] "Baby, blind love is true"
[03:07.84] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[03:17.15] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[03:24.32] Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[03:34.69] And lay you down on a bed of roses
[03:46.12] Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
[03:50.10] The barkeeper's wig's crooked
[03:52.49] And she's giving me the eye
[03:54.88] Well I might have said yeah
[03:58.86] But I laughed so hard I think I died
[04:03.92] Ooh yeah
[04:42.96] Now as you close your eyes
[04:45.35] Know I'll be thinking about you
[04:51.20] While my mistress she calls me
[04:53.58] To stand in her spotlight again
[04:59.43] Tonight I won't be alone
[05:02.63] But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
[05:08.47] I've got nothing to prove
[05:11.40] For it's you that I'd die to defend
[05:16.71] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[05:25.74] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[05:33.97] I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[05:43.53] And lay you down
[05:51.51] I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
[06:00.53] For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[06:09.05] I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
[06:17.80] And lay you down
[06:25.77] On a bed of roses
