Lyrics:

Sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano 
Trying hard to capture 
the moment this morning I don't know 
'Cause a bottle of vodka 
is still lodged in my head 
And some blonde gave me nightmares 
I think 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 talking 
About all of the things that I long to believe 
About love and the truth and 
what you mean to me 
And the truth is baby you're all that I need 

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses 
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails 
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is 
And lay you down on bed of roses 

Well I'm so far away 
That each step that I take is on my way home 
A king's ransom in dimes I've given each night 
Just 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 want to lay you down on a bed of roses 
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails 
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is 
And lay you down on bed of roses 

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry 
The barkeeper's wig's crooked 
And she's giving me the eye 
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 
Tonite I won't be alone 
But you 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 want to lay you down on 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 bed of roses
