[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]
