[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
