Bon Jovi – Bed Of Roses

Bed Of Roses lyrics

Sittin’ here wasted and wounded

At this old piano

Tryin’ hard to capture

The moment this morning

I don’t know

’Cause a bottle of vodka

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 ironglad fist I wake up

And French kiss the morning

While some marching band keeps

This own beat in my head

While we’re talkin’

About all of the things that

I long to believe

About love and 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 sleep on a bed of nails

Oh I wanna be

Just as close as

The Holy Ghost is

And lay you down

On a bed of roses

Well I’m so far away

Each step that I take’s on my way home

A king’s ransom in dimes I’d give each night

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 wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

Oh I wanna be

Just as close as

The 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

Now as you close your eyes

Know I’ll be thinkin’ about you

While my mistress she calls me

To stand in her spotlight again

Tonight I won’t be alone

To 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 sleep on a bed of nails

Oh I wanna be

Just as close as

The Holy Ghost is

And lay you down

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

I wanna be

Just as close as

The Holy Ghost is

And lay you down

On a bed of roses
