BON JOVI - Bed Of Roses lyrics

rate me

Sitting here wasted and wounded<br>At this old piano<br>Trying hard to capture<br>The moment this morning I don't know<br>'cause a bottle of vodka<br>Is still lodged in my head<br>And some blond gave me nightmares<br>I think she's still in my bed<br>As I dream about movies<br>They won't make of me when I'm dead<br><br>With an ironclad fist I wake up and<br>French kiss the morning<br>While some marching band keeps<br>Its own beat in my head<br>While we're talking<br>About all of the things that I long to believe<br>About love and the truth and<br>What you mean to me<br>And the truth is baby you're all that I need<br><br>I want to lay you on a bed of roses<br>For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails<br>I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is<br>And lay you down on bed of roses<br><br>Well I'm so far away<br>That each step that I take is on my way home<br>A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night<br>Just to see through this payphone<br>Still I run out of time<br>Or it's hard to get through<br>Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you<br>I'll just close my eyes and whisper,<br>Baby blind love is true<br><br>I want to lay you down on a bed of roses<br>For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails<br>I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is<br>And lay you down on bed of roses<br><br>The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry<br>The barkeeper's wig's crooked<br>And she's giving me the eye<br>I might have said yeah<br>But I laughed so hard I think I died<br><br>When you close your eyes<br>Know I'll be thinking about you<br>While my mistress she calls me<br>To stand in her spotlight again<br>Tonite I won't be alone<br>But you know that don't<br>Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove<br>For it's you that I'd die to defend<br><br>I want to lay you down on a bed of roses<br>For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails<br>I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is<br>And lay you down on bed of roses
