| [00:34.810] |
Sitting here wasted and wounded |
| [00:38.550] |
at this old piano |
| [00:43.370] |
Trying hard to capture |
| [00:46.000] |
the moment this morning I don't know |
| [00:52.130] |
'Cause a bottle of vodka |
| [00:54.580] |
is still lodged in my head |
| [00:57.200] |
And some blond gave me nightmares |
| [00:59.030] |
I think she's still in my bed |
| [01:05.670] |
As I dream about movies |
| [01:08.090] |
they won't make of me when I'm dead |
| [01:14.660] |
With an ironclad fist I wake up and |
| [01:18.600] |
French kiss the morning |
| [01:23.080] |
While some marching band keeps |
| [01:25.210] |
its own beat in my head |
| [01:28.110] |
While we're talking |
| [01:31.870] |
About all of the things that I long to believe |
| [01:36.820] |
About love and the truth and |
| [01:41.160] |
what you mean to me |
| [01:43.620] |
And the truth is baby you're all that I need |
| [01:51.060] |
I want to lay you on a bed of roses |
| [02:00.510] |
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails |
| [02:08.530] |
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is |
| [02:18.290] |
And lay you down on bed of roses |
| [02:28.960] |
Well I'm so far away |
| [02:31.930] |
That each step that I take is on my way home |
| [02:37.910] |
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night |
| [02:41.210] |
Just to see through this payphone |
| [02:46.580] |
Still I run out of time |
| [02:48.900] |
Or it's hard to get through |
| [02:51.670] |
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you |
| [02:56.180] |
I'll just close my eyes and whisper, |
| [03:00.270] |
baby blind love is true |
| [03:05.870] |
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses |
| [03:15.060] |
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails |
| [03:23.580] |
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is |
| [03:33.140] |
And lay you down on bed of roses |
| [03:43.920] |
The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry |
| [03:47.910] |
The barkeeper's wig's crooked |
| [03:52.750] |
And she's giving me the eye |
| [03:54.110] |
I might have said yeah |
| [03:57.220] |
But I laughed so hard I think I died |
| [04:40.220] |
When you close your eyes |
| [04:43.570] |
Know I'll be thinking about you |
| [04:48.820] |
While my mistress she calls me |
| [04:51.840] |
To stand in her spotlight again |
| [04:57.020] |
Tonite I won't be alone |
| [05:03.600] |
But you know that don't |
| [05:06.710] |
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove |
| [05:10.950] |
For it's you that I'd die to defend |
| [05:13.360] |
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses |
| [05:23.750] |
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails |
| [05:30.660] |
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is |
| [05:41.440] |
And lay you down on bed of roses |
| [05:49.290] |
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses |
| [05:58.560] |
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails |
| [06:07.010] |
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is |
| [06:16.170] |
And lay you down on bed of roses |
