I Wanna Lay You Down on a Bed of Roses

I Wanna Lay You Down on a Bed of Roses - Lee Andre

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 blonde 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 of nails oohh

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

To each step that I takes on my way home

A king's ransom in dimes

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 in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails ooohh

I want to be just as close as

The holy ghost is

And lay you down

On a bed of roses

Well this hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry

The barkeeper's wig's crooked

And she's giving me the eye

And I might have said yeah

But I laughed so hard I think I died

Ohh 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 want to lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails oohhh

I want to be just as close as

The holy ghost is

And lay you down

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

I want to be just as close as

The holy ghost is

Lay you down

On a bed of roses
