Bon Jovi "Bed of Roses" lyrics

Bed of Roses

Sitting here wasted and woundedat this old pianoTrying hard to capturethe moment this morning I don't know'Cause a bottle of vodkais still lodged in my headAnd some blonde gave me nightmaresI think that she's still in my bedAs I dream about moviesthey won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake upand French kiss the morningWhile some marching band keepsits own beat in my headWhile we're talkingAbout all of the things that I long to believeAbout love and the truth andwhat you mean to meAnd the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down in a bed of rosesFor tonight I sleep on a bed of nailsI want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost isAnd lay you down on bed of roses

Well I'm so far awayThat each step that I take is on my way homeA king's ransom in dimes I'd give each nightJust to see through this payphoneStill I run out of timeOr it's hard to get throughTill the bird on the wire flies me back to youI just close my eyes and whisper,baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down in a bed of rosesFor tonight I sleep on a bed of nailsI want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost isAnd lay you down on the bed of roses

Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dryThe barkeeper's wig's crooked andShe's giving me the eyeWell I might have said yeahBut I laughed so hard I think I diedooh yeah

Now as you close your eyesKnow I'll be thinking about youWhile my mistress she calls meTo stand in her spotlight againTonight I won't be aloneBut you know that don'tMean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to proveFor it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down in a bed of rosesFor tonight I sleep on a bed of nailsI want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost isAnd lay you down

I want to lay you down in a bed of rosesFor tonight I sleep on a bed of nailsI want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost isAnd lay you down on bed of roses
