[00:00.00] Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
[00:20.61]Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
[00:30.96]'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
[00:36.57]And some blond gave me nightmares, think that she's still in my bed
[00:46.83]As I dream about movies
[00:50.22]They won't make of me  when I'm dead
[00:57.69]With an ironclad fist I wake up and french kiss the morning
[01:07.98]While some marching band keeps it's own beat in my head
[01:13.41]While we're talking
[01:18.54]About all of the things that I long to believe
[01:24.12]About love, the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is
[01:32.52]Baby you're all that  I need
[01:39.84]I wanna lay you down  in a bed of roses
[01:50.01]For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[02:00.21]I wanna be  just as close as  your Holy Ghost is
[02:10.26]And  lay you down  on a bed of roses
[02:22.11]Well I'm so far away  the step that I take's on my way home
[02:32.43]A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
[02:36.90]To see through  this pay  phone
[02:42.78]Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
[02:48.24]Till the bird on the wire  flies me back to
[02:53.58]You I'll just close my eyes, whisper  baby  blind love is true
[03:06.30]I wanna lay you down in a bed  of roses
[03:17.04]For tonight  I'll sleep  on a bed of nails
[03:27.18]I wanna be  just as close as  your Holy Ghost is
[03:37.32]And  lay you down  on a bed of roses
[03:49.08]Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
[03:54.60]The barkeeper's wig's crooked
[03:57.30]And she's giving me the eye
[03:59.64]Well I might have said yeah
[04:04.89]But I laughed so hard I think I died
[04:08.61]Ooh yeah
[04:08.70]Now as you close your eyes
[04:09.33]Know I'll be thinking about you
[04:10.02]While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
[04:11.94]Tonight  I won't be alone
[04:13.50]But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
[04:14.46]I've got nothing to prove for it's you that I'd die to defend
[04:15.60]I wanna lay you down  in a bed of roses
[04:23.01]For tonight  I'll sleep  on a bed of nails
[04:33.18]I wanna be  just as close as your Holy Ghost is
[04:38.94]And lay  you down
[04:39.99]I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
[04:41.19]For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
[04:42.12]I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
[04:44.91]And lay you down  on a bed of roses
