[Verse 1]


Sitting here w

asted and woun

ded
              
At this old pi


ano
       
Trying hard to

 capture the m

oment
              
This morning I

 
 don't know
            
'Cause a bottl

              
e of vodka's s

     
till lodged in

 my head
         
And some blond

 gave me night

mares
              
Think that she

              
's still in my

 
 bed
            
As I dream abo

              
ut movies they

             
 won't make of

             
 me when I'm d

ead


[Verse 2]

        
With an iron-c

lad fist
              
I wake up, and

              
 French kiss t

   
he morning
           
While some mar

ching band kee

ps its own bea

t
              
In my head whi

        
le we're talki

ng
            
About all of t

              
he things, tha

     
t I long to be

lieve
       
About love, th

e truth, what 

you mean to me
        
And the truth 

is
           
Baby, you're a

                  
ll that I need


[Chorus]

          
I wanna lay
             
You down in a 

     
bed of roses
         
For tonight
            
I sleep on a b

     
ed of nails
              
Oh, I want to 


be
        
Just as close 

as

 is
         
And lay you do

  On a bed of 


roses


[Verse 3]

          
Well, I'm so f

Each step that

              
 I take's on m

  
y way home
          
A King's ranso

m in dimes

ght to see thr

           
ough this payp

hone
        
Still I run ou

t of time
         
Or it's hard t

o get through
          
Till the bird 

on the wire fl

ies me back to

 you
      
I'll just clos

e my eyes, and

 whisper
           
Baby, blind lo
