bon jovi - bed of roses (2003) lyrics

[verse 1]
sittin’ here, wasted and wounded, at this old piano
and tryin’ hard to capture the moment, this morning, i don’t know
’cause a bottle of vodka, still lodged in my head
some blonde gave me nightmares, i think she’s still in my bed
as i dream about movies they won’t make of me when i’m dead

[verse 2]
with an ironclad fist, i wake up to french kiss the morning
while some marchin’ band keeps its own beat in my head while we’re talkin’
’bout all of the things i still long to believe
love, the truth, what you mean to mе
and the truth is
baby, you’re all that i need

[chorus]
i wanna lay you down in a bed of rosеs
for tonight, i’ll sleep on a bed of nails
and i wanna be just as close as the holy ghost is
and lay you down
on a bed of roses

[verse 3]
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 just 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”
[chorus]
i wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight, i’ll sleep on a bed of nails
and i want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
and lay you down
on a bed of roses

[bridge]
the hotel bar hangover whiskey ran dry
the barkeeper’s wig’s crooked, she’s givin’ me the eye
i might have said “yes”
but i laughed
till i cried

[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
when 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 it don’t mean i’m not lonely
i’ve got nothing to prove, but it’s you that i’d die to defend

[chorus]
i wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight, i’ll sleep on a bed of nails
and i want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
and lay you down
on a bed of roses
[instrumental break]
humming

[outro]
and lay you down
