Bed of Roses

Bed of Roses (玫瑰花床) - Acoustic Chill Out

You're 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

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 want to lay you down in

A bed of roses

For tonight I sleep

On a bed on 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 away

Say that

I take is on my way home

A king's ransom in dimes

Give each night

Just to see through

This pay phone

Still I run of the 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

And I want to lay you down

On a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on

A bed on nails

I want to be just as close

As the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on

A bed of roses

Were 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

Yeah

Yeah I know know

When at 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 want to lay you down

On a bed of roses

For tonight 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
