"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
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
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
Yours is
- thicker
- than a velvet ring
Yours is
- thicker
- than a velvet ring
