ok only got eight responses, but if you all enter two, that's more than enough. so we're re-opening.

this song is beyond incredible, and it fits Phantom like one of Erik's gloves.

Bon Jovi - 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'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 want to lay you down on 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

well I'm so far away
each step that I take's 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
till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I just close my eyes
and whisper "baby, my love is true"

I want to lay you down on 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

well this 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 yes
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 want to lay you down on 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
