"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 blond 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 it's own beat in my head
 While we're talking
 About all of 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
 For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
 I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
 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
 A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
 To see through this pay phone
 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, whisper baby blind love is true
 
 I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
 For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
 I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
 And lay you down on a bed of roses
 
 Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
 The barkeeper's wig's crooked
 And she's giving me the eye
 Well 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 wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
 For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
 I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
 And lay you down
 
 I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
 For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
 I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
 And lay you down on a bed of roses
