On a dead end street
In a dead end town
There's a motel that I call home
Just a few small hopes
And a few small dreams
Is all that place is resting onDesiree lives two doors down
She's been there for way too long
Oh Yeah!
Sometimes when she's feelin' down
you know I hope she hears this songOn a bed of roses
Not beneath some motel light
On a bed of roses
She deserves to sleep tonight
She deserves to sleep tonight
She comes home late everynight
I can hear her walkin' down my hall
She don't talk on the phone too much
When she does I hear it through my wallDesiree don't have many friends
At least not many good ones
I may be just an ordinary man
But at least I'm someone to lean onOn a bed of roses
Not beneath some motel light
On a bed of roses
She deserves to sleep tonight
She deserves to sleep tonightTonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
On a bed of roses
Not beneath some motel light
On a bed of roses
She deserves to sleep tonight
On a bed of roses
On a bed of roses
Oh, she deserves to sleep tonight
She deserves to sleep tonight
