Bed Of Roses lyrics
Songwriters: Bongiovi, Jon;

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, 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 it s own beat in my head
While we re talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the 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 ll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
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
A king s ransom in dimes I d give each night
To see through this pay phone
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, whisper baby blind love is true

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I ll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a 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 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 wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I ll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I ll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
