Bon Jovi - Bed of Roses lyrics

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 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 it's 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 in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I wanna be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is and lay you down
On a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each
Night just 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'll just close my eyes and whisper
Baby, blind love is true

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is and lay you down
On a bed of roses

Well, this hotel bar hangover
Whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Ooh yeah

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 want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is and lay you down

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I 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
