Bon Jovi - Bed Of Roses

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 blonde gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies that won't wake up 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 and the truth and what you mean to me, and the truth is..
Baby, you're all that I need

I want to lay you down on 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 bed of roses


Well I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home
King's ransom in dimes I'd given each night to see 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 just close my eyes and whisper,
baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed on nails
]I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

well this hotel bar's hangover, whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wigs crooked, and she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
.....
Now as you close your eyes, you 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 want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down ...
And lay you down on a bed of roses
