"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
