Sitting here wasted and wounded
with this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
Cause a bottle of vodka still lies in my head
Some blonde gave me nightmares,
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 a song beat in my head while we're talking
about all the things that I long to believe
about love,
the truth,
what you mean to me
and the truth is
baby,
you're all that I need
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
Oh,
tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
No more let ghosts and lay you down on a bed of roses.
Well, I'm so far away,
the step that I take's on my way home.
And the kings ransom and dimes I give each night to see through this bare form
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
Till the pearl on the wire flies me back to you I just close my eyes
love is true.
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
For tonight I sleep on a bed of
The world it goes fast and lay you down on a bed of roses
Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gonna dry the bar
Keep up squigs, cook up, 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,
know I'll be thinking about you.
My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
to know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove for you that I died a different
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For the night I sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be
just as close as the Holy Ghost is
Lay you down
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
The holy ghost is laid to rest
