Bed of Roses Letra - Bon Jovi

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 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 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 in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

Oh 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, that each step that I take's on my way home

A king'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

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 in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

Oh I want to be just as close as

The Holy Ghost is

And lay you down

On a bed of roses

Well, this hotel bar's 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

Ooh yeah

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 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 in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

Oh I want to be just as close as

The Holy Ghost is

And lay you down

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
