Bon Jovi Lyrics- Bed Of Roses

Bed Of Roses

By: Jon Bon Jovi

Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old piano
Tryin' hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares,
I 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 Ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head
While we're talkin'
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and truth and what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I wanna lay you down on 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

Well I'm so far away
Each step that I take's on my way home
A king's ransome 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 on 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

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's givin' me the eye
Well 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
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothin' to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I wanna lay you down on 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 rose
