[Verso 1:]
S itting here wasted and wounded
This old pi ano
Trying h ard to capture the moment
This morning I d on't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still l odged in my head
And some bl ond gave me nightmares
Think she's still in my b ed
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm d ead
[Verso 2:]
With an ironclad fist
I wake up, and French kiss the m orning
While some m arching band keepsits own beat
In my head while we're talking
About all of the things, that I l ong to believe
About l ove, the truth, what you mean to me
And the tr uth is
Baby, you're all that I need
[Refrão 1:]
I wanna lay
You down in a bed of r oses
For tonite
I sleep on a bed of n ails
Oh, I want to b e
Just as cl ose as
The Holy Gh ost is
And lay you down
On a bed of r oses
[Verso 3:]
Well I'm s o far away
Step that I take is on my w ay home
King's r ansom in dimes
Given each night to see through this p ayphone
Still I r un out of time
Or it's h ard to get through
Till the b ird on the wire
Flies me back to you
I'll j ust close my eyes, whisper
Baby, blind love is true
[Refrão 2:]
I wanna lay
You down in a bed of r oses
For tonite
I sleep on a bed of n ails
Oh, I want to b e
Just as cl ose as
The Holy Gh ost is
And lay you down
On a bed of roses
[Ponte:]
Well this h otel bar hangover
Whiskey's gone dry the bark eeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I m ight have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died , uh y eah!...

[Verso 4:]
Now as y ou close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking ab out you
While my m istress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite, I w on't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not l onely
I've got nothing to prove for it's y ou
That I'd die to defend
[Refrão 3:]
I wanna lay
You down in a bed of r oses
For tonite
I sleep on a bed of n ails
Oh, I want to b e
Just as cl ose as
The Holy Gh ost is
And lay you down
I wanna lay
You down in a bed of r oses
For tonite
I sleep on a be... ed of nails!
I want to b e
Just as cl ose as
The Holy Gh ost is!
