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 blond gave me nightmares

I think 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

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 on a bed of roses

For tonite I 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 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 on a bed of roses

For tonite I 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

The 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

When you close your eyes

Know I`ll be thinking about you

While my mistress she calls me

To stand in her spotlight again

Tonite 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 tonite I 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
