Bed Of Roses Lyirics

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

I still lodged in my head

And some blond gave me nightmares

I think that she's till in my bed

As I dream about movies

They won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad first 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 of 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 wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Ohh, I wanna be just as close as
The holy ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
Each step that I take is 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
'Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes, and whisper
Baby blind love is true

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Ohh, I wanna be just as close as
The holy ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well, the hotel bar 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 died,ohh yeah

Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking 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

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Ohh, I wanna be just as close as
The holy ghost is, And lay you down on

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Ohh, I wanna be just as close as
The holy ghost is, And lay you down

In a bed of roses

BON JOVI IT'S MY LIFE ( LYRICS )

BON JOVI - IT'S MY LIFE ( LYRICS )

This ain't a for song the broken-hearted

no silent prayer for the faith-departed

I ain't gona be just a face in the crowd

you're gona hear my voice

when I shout it out loud

It's my life

It's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive

 (  It's my life  )

My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said

I did it my way

I just want to live while I'm alive

It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground

For Tommy and Gina who never backed down

Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake

Luck ain't even lucky

Go to make your own breaks

It's my life

And it's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive

( It's my life )

My heart is like an open highway

Like frankie said

I did it my way

I just want to live while I'm alive

Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out

Don't bend don't break baby don't back down

It's my life

And it's now or never

'Cause I ain't gonna live  forever

I just want to live while I'm alive

( It's my life )

My heart like an open highway

like frankie said

I did it my way

I just want to live while I'm alive

It's my life

It's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive

 (  It's my life  )

My hear is like an open highway

like frankie said

I did it my way

I just want to live while I'm alive

It's my life

BON JOVI LIVIN' ON PRAYER ( LYRICS )

BON JOVI - LIVIN' ON PRAYER ( LYRICS )

Tommy used to work on  the doCks

Union's been on strike 

he's down on his luck

Is's tough, so tough

Gina works the diner all day

working for her man

she brings home her pay

for love, for love

She says, "we' ve gotta hold on to what we've got

It doesn't make a difference if  we make it or not

we've got each other and that's a lot

For love we'll give it a shot "

( Chorus )

whoa we're half way there

Whoa, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear

Whoa, livin on a prayer

Tommy's got his six string in hock

Now he's  holding in

What he used to make it talk

So tough it's tough

Gina dreams of running away 

when she cries in  the night

Tommy whispers,

"Baby it's okay, someday

We've gotta hold on to what we've got

It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not

We've got  each other and that's a lot

For love we'll give  it a shot ''

( Chorus )

Livin' on prayer

We've gotta hold on ready or not 

You live  for the fight when it's all that you've got

( Chorus 2X and fading )
