"Velvet Ring" - Big Thief

Chilled in the kitchen of a city tomb - The light would flicker like a violent womb
The night was thicker than a smoky fume - Eliza waited in her room
Ben, he loved her like he loved no one - The way she laughed and held a smoking gun
The way she always said "What's done is done" - And he is not the only one
Love is a gentle thing - Yours is thicker than a velvet ring - Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
A victim here with a sharp, sharp blade - And Ben, he knew how she was getting paid
Her water broke, and they would have to wait - And when he knew that she was fooling
He faced the mirror to avoid the thing - We're out of money, and we've sold the bling
And I just wanna take you home - I just wanna take you home
Love is a gentle thing - Yours is thicker than a velvet ring - Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
And I'm wondering - Ring - And I'm wondering
