[00:19.02]Sitting here wasted and wounded
[00:21.84]At this old piano
[00:27.02]Trying hard to capture the moment
[00:30.54]This morning I don't know
[00:35.60]'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
[00:40.45]And some blond gave me nightmares
[00:43.13]I think that she's still in my bed
[00:49.05]As I dream about movies
[00:51.63]They won't make of me when I'm dead
[00:58.06]With an ironclad fist I wake up
[01:00.82]And French kiss the morning
[01:06.61]While some marching band keeps
[01:08.76]Its own beat in my head
[01:11.05]While we're talking
[01:15.36]About all of the things
[01:17.47]That I long to believe
[01:19.78]About love and the truth
[01:22.26]And what you mean to me
[01:24.36]And the truth is
[01:29.21]Baby you're all that I need
[01:34.80]I want to lay you down
[01:38.61]On a bed of roses
[01:43.83]For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
[01:52.39]I want to be just as close
[01:57.27]As the Holy Ghost is
[02:01.71]And lay you down on a bed of roses
[02:12.66]Well I'm so far away
[02:14.85]That each step that I take is on my way home
[02:21.22]A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
[02:24.74]Just to see through this payphone
[02:30.09]Still I run out of time
[02:32.42]Or it's hard to get through
[02:34.76]Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
[02:39.11]I'll just close my eyes and whisper
[02:43.72]Baby blind love is true
[02:49.63]I want to lay you down
[02:53.50]On a bed of roses
[02:58.62]For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
[03:07.12]I want to be just as close
[03:12.01]As the Holy Ghost is
[03:16.74]And lay you down on a bed of roses
[03:28.71]
[03:46.79]Now when you close your eyes
[03:49.17]Know I'll be thinking about you
[03:55.04]While my mistress she calls me
[03:57.71]To stand in her spotlight again
[04:03.28]Tonight I won't be alone
[04:06.31]But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
[04:12.35]I've got nothing to prove for
[04:15.32]It's you that I'd die to defend
[04:20.92]I want to lay you down
[04:25.25]On a bed of roses
[04:30.18]For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
[04:38.75]I want to be just as close
[04:43.83]As the Holy Ghost is
[04:47.85]And lay you down on a bed of roses
[04:58.50]
