Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old
piano
Trying hard to capture the moment this
morning i don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in
my head
And some blond 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 the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat
in my head
While we're talking About all the things
that i long to believe About love and the truth
And what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that i
need
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
I want to be just as close as the Holy
Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well i'm so far away that each step that i
take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes i'd give each
night→King's ransom,國王的贖金,形容『很多錢』
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,
(我閉上眼睛不敢看,自言自語)
baby blind love is true
(就因為是真愛,所以才盲目)
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite i sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy
Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But i laughed so hard i think i died
When you close your eyes
Know i'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite i won't be alone
But you know that don't Mean i'm not lonely
i've got nothing to prove
(但是我卻很寂寞,我不知道自己究竟在幹嘛)
For it's you that i'd die to defend
(因為,只有你才是最重要的)
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
(我想和你一起睡在那張玫瑰花瓣床上)
For tonite i sleep on a bed of nails
(但是,今晚我卻 輾轉難眠 )
I want to be just as close as the Holy
Ghost is
(我希望自己能活得像個好男人)
And lay you down on a bed of roses
(和你一起躺在玫瑰花瓣床上………)
