Sitting here wasted and woundedwith this old pianoTrying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't knowCause a bottle of vodka still lies in my headSome 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 talkingabout all the things that I long to believeabout love,the truth,what you mean to meand the truth isbaby,you're all that I needI wanna lay you down in a bed of rosesOh,tonight I sleep on a bed of nailsNo 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 formStill I run out of time or it's hard to get throughTill the pearl on the wire flies me back to you I just close my eyeslove is true.I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.For tonight I sleep on a bed ofThe world it goes fast and lay you down on a bed of rosesWell this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gonna dry the barKeep up squigs, cook up, and she's giving me the eyeI 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 againTonight I won't be aloneto know that don't mean I'm not lonelyI've got nothing to prove for you that I died a differentI wanna lay you down in a bed of rosesFor the night I sleep on a bed of nailsI wanna bejust as close as the Holy Ghost isLay you downI wanna lay you down in a bed of rosesThe holy ghost is laid to rest
