Bed Of Roses

Sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano
带着脆弱与创伤坐在这架老钢琴前
Trying hard to capture
the moment this morning I don't know
难以记起今早的片断
'Cause a bottle of vodka
is still lodged in my head
因为那瓶伏特加还残留我的大脑中
And some blonde gave me nightmares
某个金发女人让我恶梦连连
I think she's still in my bed
我想她还在我的床上
As I dream about movies
they won't make of me when I'm dead
我梦到我死后没有人会为我拍的电影

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
在震惊中我醒来亲吻早晨
While some marching band keeps
its own beat in my head
某首乐曲还在敲打我的心
While we're talking
当我们谈论
About all of the things that I long to believe
我渴望相信的一切
About love and the truth and
what you mean to me
关于爱与真理以及你对我的意义
And the truth is baby you're all that I need
事实就是:你是我所要的一切

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
我要把你放在玫瑰床上
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
因为今夜我睡在钉子床上
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
我要如圣灵般接近你 把你放在玫瑰床上
Well I'm so far away
我离你如此遥远
That each step that I take is on my way home
但我走的每一步都通往回家的路
A king's ransom in dimes I've given each night
每天晚上我都要付出大把硬币
Just to see through this payphone
只为拨通这个投币电话
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
尽管用完时间或者无法拨通
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
直到电线上的鸟儿将我带回到你身边
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
我只能闭上眼睛轻声低语
baby blind love is true
“亲爱的 真爱的确是盲目的”

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
我要把你放在玫瑰床上
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
因为今夜我睡在钉子床上
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
我要如圣灵般接近你
And lay you down on bed of roses
把你放在玫瑰床上

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
旅馆酒吧残留的威士忌已经干了
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
酒吧招待有着卷曲的假发
And she's giving me the eye
她给了我一个眼色
I might have said yeah
也许我该说”yeah”
But I laughed so hard I think I died
但是我笑得如此猛烈 我想我已死了

When you close your eyes
当你闭上眼睛
Know I'll be thinking about you
你知道我在想你
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
当我的情人又叫我站到她的聚光灯下
Tonite I won't be alone
今夜我不会独自一人
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
但你知道那并不意味着我不孤独 我没什么要证明的
For it's you that I'd die to defend
因为我至死都要保护的是你

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
我要把你放在玫瑰床上
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
因为今夜我睡在钉子床上
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
我要如圣灵般接近你
And lay you down on bed of roses
