Velvet Ring

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
 And I'm wondering
 Ring
 And I'm wondering
