Bon Jovi - Bed Of Roses lyrics

Your rating:

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 
is still lodged in my head 
And some blond gave me nightmares 
I think 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 the truth and 
what you mean to me 
And the truth is baby you`re all that I need 

I want to lay you on a bed of roses 
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails 
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is 
And lay you down on bed of roses 

Well I`m so far away 
That each step that I take is on my way home 
A king`s ransom in dimes I`d given each night 
Just 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`ll just close my eyes and whisper, 
baby blind love is true 

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses 
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails 
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is 
And lay you down on 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 

When you close your eyes 
Know I`ll be thinking about you 
While my mistress she calls me 
To stand in her spotlight again 
Tonite 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 

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses 
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails 
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is 
And lay you down on bed of roses
