Bed of Roses - Jon Bon Jovi

Sittin' here wasted and wounded with this old piano

Trying hard to capture the moment...

this mornin' I don't know'

Cause a bottle of vodka's still lodged in my hand

N' 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 n' french kiss the mornin'

While some marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're talkin'

About all o' 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

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails

I wanna be just as close as your holy ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away, 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

Til' the bird on the wire flies me back to you

I'll just close my eyes and whisper

Baby, blind love is true

CHORUS

Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry

The barkeeper's wig's crooked, and she's giving me the eye

Well I might have said yeah, but I laughed so hard I think I've died

Now as you close your eyes know I'll be thinkin' 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

CHORUS (*2)
