[Bon Jovi cover]
|
|
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
|
still lodged in my head
|
And 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
|
its own beat in my head
|
While we're talking
|
About all of the things that I long to believe
|
About love and 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 sleep on a bed of nails
|
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
|
And lay you down on bed of roses
|
|
Well I'm so far away
|
step that I takes on my way home
|
A king's ransom in dimes give each night
|
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 just close my eyes and whisper,
|
baby blind love is true
|
|
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
|
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
|
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
|
And lay you down on the 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 won't be alone
|
To 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 sleep on a bed of nails
|
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
|
And lay you down
|
|
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
|
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
|
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
|
And lay you down on bed of roses
|
