Blue Velvet

Blue Velvet

1. Blue Velvet

Blue Velvet

(verse 1)

(1, 2, 1, 2, 3)

I want to do that again

get drunk and be dramatic

take me home and take off my lifted clothes

one night in blessed sin

a reputation that's problematic

boy I, boy I need the bad attitude you wear for a night

love me, let go of me

pick me up and then throw me down on your bed sheets

trace my new tattoo

show me your scenic view

then speedily come unglued

(chorus)

it's useless to act like

I'm not a cat prowling the midnight

acid washed jeans on your floor

and a deep voice that yearns for me more

fresh cherry lip gloss

hands on my ass saying "I want you"

superficiality

cuz you just met me, no no no

a dangerous game of billiards

with two controversial figures

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

blue velvet, a dramatic night

I chalk your cue

and wrap my hips around you on the pool table

buy me a decent drink

looking at you from the bathroom mirror sink

you don't know where we are

is this still the intersection bar?

love me, less lonely

we're the only two in this crowded dingy dive

a folded bill from your wallet, a five

a forceful hand on my thigh

into the night, we drive

(chorus)

passion, to me, is

a man getting what he wants at midnight

his jealousy is charming

it's the stupid truth

knocking out for me

any guy who looks wrongly, I want you

a jerk to the world, oh no no no

he's the guy for me

so seductively

(end chorus)

(bridge)

I guess I got caught up

in the liquor he pours in my cup

I can't do all that

I'm still a stray street cat

I belong to no man

but he's the Jack to my Diane

I don't know anymore

I guess I got no choice

(chorus)

it's useless to act like

I'm not a cat prowling the midnight

acid washed jeans on your floor

and a deep voice that yearns for me more

fresh cherry lip gloss

hands on my ass saying "I want you"

superficiality

cuz you just met me, no no no

a dangerous game of billiards

with two controversial figures

(end chorus)
