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

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

And
I'm
wondering

And
I'm
wondering
