"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
