Sitting here wasted
And wound at this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment
This morning I don`t know
`Cause a bottle of vodka`s
Still lodged 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 ironcald 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 and the truth
And what you mean on me
And the truth is , baby
You`re all that I need
Chorus:
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
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well I`m so far away that each step
I take`s on my way home
As kings`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
Til the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I`ll just close my eyes and whisper
Baby , blind love is true
CHORUS
This hotel bar`s hangover - Whisky`s gone dry
The barkeeper`s wigs crooked
And she`s giving me the eye
I might have said yeah but I
Laughed so hard I think I die
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 you mean
I`m not lonely - I`ve got nothing to prove
For it`s you that I`d die to defend
CHORUS
