"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'm
wondering

Ring

And I'm
wondering
