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's still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
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 of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
And the truth is
Baby you're all that I need
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Oh 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
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 want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well this hotel bar's 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
Ooh 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 want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Bed of Roses" by Bon Jovi capture the state of vulnerability, longing, and conflicting emotions experienced by the singer. The song begins with the singer feeling wasted and wounded, sitting at the piano, trying to capture a moment of uncertainty. The reference to a bottle of vodka and a nightmare from a past encounter with a blonde woman suggest a state of intoxication and regret.


As the song progresses, the singer dreams about movies that won't be made about him after his death, indicating a desire for a legacy and recognition. The lyrics also mention a longing for love, truth, and the deep connection the singer feels for their partner. The chorus expresses the desire to lay the person down in a bed of roses, despite the struggles and hardships faced by the singer. There's a yearning to be close and intimate, similar to the bond between the Holy Ghost and one's faith.


The second verse reveals the singer's distance from their loved one and their struggles to return home. The use of a payphone symbolizes the limitations of communication and the constant feeling of running out of time. The lyrics convey the singer's willingness to endure hardships and give up a king's ransom just to be reunited with their partner.


In the third verse, the lyrics shift to a hotel bar, where the singer finds temporary solace. The imagery of the barkeeper's crooked wig and the humorous encounter suggests a momentary diversion from the loneliness that persists. However, the chorus reiterates the depth of the singer's love and devotion, willing to lay the person down in a bed of roses and defend them at all costs.


Overall, "Bed of Roses" explores themes of love, longing, sacrifice, and the complexities of relationships. It showcases the raw emotions and inner turmoil of the singer while highlighting their unwavering dedication to their loved one.


Line by Line Meaning

Sitting here wasted and wounded
I am sitting here feeling intoxicated and hurt


At this old piano
At this aged piano


Trying hard to capture
Putting in a lot of effort to capture


The moment this morning I don't know
I am uncertain about the moment this morning


'Cause a bottle of Vodka's still lodged in my head
Because I still have a bottle of Vodka's effects in my head


And some blonde gave me nightmares
And someone with blonde hair gave me unsettling dreams


Think that she's still in my bed
I believe that she is still in my bed


As I dream about movies
While I fantasize about being in movies


They won't make of me when I'm dead
They will not make movies about me after I've passed away


With an ironclad fist
With a firm and unwavering determination


I wake up and french kiss the morning
I wake up and passionately embrace the morning


While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head
While a marching band plays its own rhythm in my mind


While we're talking
While we are engaged in conversation


About all of the things that I long to believe
About all the things that I deeply desire to believe


About love, the truth, what you mean to me
About love, the truth, and your significance in my life


And the truth is
And the reality is


Baby you're all that I need
Darling, you are everything I need


I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
I desire to place you gently on a bed of roses


For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Because tonight, I will sleep on an uncomfortable bed of nails


Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
Oh, I want to be as intimately close as the Holy Ghost


And lay you down on a bed of roses
And lay you down on a bed adorned with beautiful roses


Well I'm so far away
Well, I am geographically distant


Each step that I take is on my way home
Every step I take brings me closer to home


A king's ransom in dimes, I'd give each night
I would give a substantial amount each night


To see through this payphone
In order to be able to make a call from this payphone


Still I run out of time
However, I still run out of time


Or it's hard to get through
Or it is difficult to connect


Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
Until the bird on the wire transports me back to you


I'll just close my eyes and whisper
I will simply close my eyes and softly murmur


"Baby, blind love is true"
"Darling, love that is not based on sight is genuine"


Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
Well, the whiskey I drank at this hotel bar is no longer available


The barkeeper's wig's crooked
The bartender's wig is askew


And she's giving me the eye
And she is giving me a suggestive look


Well I might have said yeah
Well, I might have agreed


But I laughed so hard I think I died
But I laughed so intensely that it felt like I died


Now as you close your eyes
Now, as you shut your eyes


Know I'll be thinking about you
Know that I will be contemplating about you


While my mistress she calls me
While my lover calls me


To stand in her spotlight again
To once again be in the center of her attention


Tonight I won't be alone
Tonight I will not be lonely


But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
But you know that does not imply I am not lonely


I've got nothing to prove
I have nothing to demonstrate


For it's you that I'd die to defend
Because I would die to protect you


I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
I desire to place you gently on a bed of roses


For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Because tonight, I will sleep on an uncomfortable bed of nails


I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
I want to be as intimately close as the Holy Ghost


And lay you down on a bed of roses
And lay you down on a bed adorned with beautiful roses

Bed Of Roses

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
It's own beat in my head
While we're talking
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

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
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
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
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

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well, this hotel bar's 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

When 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 sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

For it's you that I'd die to defend 

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses 
For tonight 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



@juliovelazquez9841

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's still lodged in my head,
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 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, the truth, 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.
Oh, 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 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'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.
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is,
And lay you down on a bed of roses.

Well, this hotel bar's 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.

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.
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is,
And lay you down.

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses,
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails.
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is,
And lay you down on a bed of roses.

🌟♥️ Bed of Roses Lyrics ♥️🌟

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's still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
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 of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
And the truth is
Baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Oh 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
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 want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well this hotel bar's 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
Ooh 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 want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll 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
