The Jezabels – Got Velvet lyrics
Well bravo
You lit a light in my life
Raised them chips and railroads
Headed off into the night
But you were like the government
Lying all the time
With a shattered piece of way-back-when
Stuck, forever in your mind
When, baby, it was you and me
One step forward, two step fighting infidelity
Which always is velvet-covered
I woke
I awoke into a ghost
Of a ship that sailed
But I'ma laugh it up the most
Because I no longer have to worry
About the shadows on your walls
Can you remember how proud we were
Right before the fall?
When, baby, it was you and me
One step forward, two step fighting infidelity
Though, truly we don't 'mind
Sleeping on a different bed
Long as you got velvet covers
Shouting it out to remind you
Hanging it out to dry
You lit a light in my life
Raised them chips and railroads
Headed off into the night
But you were like the government
Lying all the time
With a shattered piece of way-back-when
Stuck, forever in your mind
When, baby, it was you and me
One step forward, two step fighting infidelity
Which always is velvet-covered
I woke
I awoke into a ghost
Of a ship that sailed
But I'ma laugh it up the most
Because I no longer have to worry
About the shadows on your walls
Can you remember how proud we were
Right before the fall?
When, baby, it was you and me
One step forward, two step fighting infidelity
Though, truly we don't 'mind
Sleeping on a different bed
Long as you got velvet covers
Shouting it out to remind you
Hanging it out to dry
