"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
-
