SITTING HERE WASTED AND WOUNDED AT THIS OLD PIANO
TRYING HARD TO CAPTURE THE MOMENT THIS MORNING I DON'T KNOW
'CAUSE THIS BOTTLE OF VODKA'S STILL LODGED IN MY HEAD
AND SOME BLONDE GAVE ME NIGHTMARES
I 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 TO FRENCH KISS GOOD MORNING
WHILE THE MARCHING BAND KEEPS ITS OWN BEAT IN MY HEAD WHILE WERE TALKING
THAT ALL OF THOSE LITTLE THINGS I LONG TO BELIEVE
ABOUT LOVE, THE TRUTH AND WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME
AND THE TRUTH IS, BABY, YOU'RE ALL THAT I NEED
CHORUS: I WANT TO LAY YOU DOWN IN A BED OF ROSES
TONIGHT I SLEEP ON A BED OF NAILS
I WANT TO BE JUST AS CLOSE AS THE HOLY GHOST IS
AND LAY YOU DOWN ON A BED OF ROSES
I'M SO FAR AWAY EACH STEP TAKE IS ON MY WAY HOME
A KING'S RANSOM IN DIMES I'D GIVE EACH NIGHT JUST TO SEE THROUGH THIS PAYPHONE
I RUN OUT OF TIME OR IT'S HARD TO GET THROUGH
'TIL THE BIRD ON THE WIRE FLIES ME BACK TO YOU
I'LL JUST CLOSE MY EYES AND WHISPER, BABY, BLIND LOVE IS TRUE
CHORUS: I WANT TO LAY YOU DOWN IN A BED OF ROSES
TONIGHT I SLEEP ON A BED OF NAILS
I WANT TO BE JUST AS CLOSE AS THE HOLY GHOST IS
AND LAY YOU DOWN ON A BED OF ROSES
THE HOTEL BAR HANGOVER WHISKEY'S GONE DRY
THE BARKEEPER'S WIG'S CROOKED AND SHE'S GIVING ME THE EYE
I MIGHT HAVE SAID YEAH BUT I LAUGHED SO HARD I THINK I DIED
SOLO
NOW AS YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES KNOW THAT I'VE THINKING ABOUT YOU
MY MISTRESS SHE CALLS 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
CHORUS: I WANT TO LAY YOU DOWN IN A BED OF ROSES
FOR TONITE I SLEEP ON A BED OF NAILS
I WANT TO BE JUST AS CLOSE AS THE HOLY GHOST IS
