"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

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

And I'm
wondering

Ring

And I'm
wondering
