Bonjovi Lyrics

Bed of Roses
BonJovi
Sitting here wasting away on this old piano
Tryin' hard to capture the moment this mornin' I don't know
Cuz a bottle of Vodka still lodged in my hand
And some blonde gave me nightmares
. . .I 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 and french-kiss tomorrow
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're talkin
About all of 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

Chorus:
1- I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
2- For tonight I sleep in a bed of nails
3- I want to be just as close as
4- The Holy Ghost is
5- And lay you down in a bed of roses

Well, I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home
King's ransome in dimes, gives each knight to see through this pay phone
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 just close my eyes and whisper, "Baby, my love is true!"

Chorus:
Lines 1-5

Well this hotel's gone hangover, whiskey's gone dry
The bar keeper quits cookin' and she's givin' me the eye
Well I might have said, "Yeah?" But I laughed so hard I think I died

Oh Yeah. . .

>Guitar Solo<

Now as you close your eyes, know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me to stand in the spotlight again
And tonight, I won't be alone, but you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I'VE GOT NOTHING TO PROVE BUT TO YOU THAT I DIED A DEAR FRIEND

Chorus:
Lines 1-4
5- And lay you down. . .
Repeat lines 1-5
