"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
