Bed Of Roses Lyrics

Bed of Roses (J. Bon Jovi)

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 have me nightmares,
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream abbout 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 beats 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 down on 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
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far awayh
That each step that I take is on my way
  home
A king's ransom in dimes i'd give each
  night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard toget 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

(chorus)

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's
  gone ddry
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

(chorus)
