Velvet Ring

"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

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

And
I'm
wondering

Ring

Chilled in the kitchen of a city tomb

The night was thicker than a smoky fume

Ben, he loved her like he loved no one

The way she always said "What's done is done"

Love is a gentle thing

Yours is thicker than a velvet ring

And Ben, he knew how she was getting paid

And when he knew that she was fooling

We're out of money, and we've sold the bling

I just wanna take you home

Yours is thicker than a velvet ring

And I'm wondering

And I'm wondering
