Sitting here wasted and woundedWith this old pianoTrying hard to captureThe moment this morning I don't know'Cause a bottle of vodkaStill lodged in my headAnd some blonde gave me nightmaresThink that she's still in my bedAs I dream about moviesThey won't make of me when I'm deadWith an ironclad fistI wake up and French kiss the morningWhile some marching band keepsIts own beat in my headWhile we're talkingAbout all of the things that I long to believeAbout love the truth and what you mean to meAnd the truth is, baby you're all that I needI wanna lay you down in a bed of rosesFor tonight I sleep on a bed of nailsOh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost isAnd lay you down on a bed of rosesWell I'm so far awayStep that I takes on my way homeA king's ransom in dimes I give each nightTo see through this payphoneStill I run out of timeOr it's hard to get through'Til' the bird on the wire flies me back to youI'll just close my eyes and whisperBaby blind love is trueI wanna lay you down in a bed of rosesFor tonight I sleep on a bed of nailsOh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost isAnd lay you down on a bed of rosesWell, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dryThe barkeeper's wig's crookedAnd she's giving me the eyeI might have said yeahBut I laughed so hard I think I died, ooh yeahNow as you close your eyesKnow I'll be thinking about youWhile my mistress she calls meTo stand in her spotlight againTonight I won't be aloneBut you know that don't mean I'm not lonelyI've got nothing to proveFor it's you that I'd die to defendI wanna lay you down in a bed of rosesFor tonight I sleep on a bed of nailsOh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost isAnd lay you downI wanna lay you down in a bed of rosesFor tonight I sleep on a bed of nailsI wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost isAnd lay you downBed of rosesLyrics Licensed & Provided by LyricFind | By: Jon Bon Jovi | Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group, Tunecore

Silence

Intro

Sitting here wasted and wounded
With this old piano

Verse

Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
Still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
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 the truth and what you mean to me
And the truth is, baby you're all that I need

Chorus

I wanna 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
Step that I takes on my way home

Verse

A king's ransom in dimes I 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
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

Chorus

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, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked

Bridge

And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died, ooh yeah

Instrumental

Now as you close your eyes

Bridge

Know I'll be thinking about you

Verse

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

Chorus

I wanna 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
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
