Couldn't it be
Black velvet
Tiger painting
On the wall
Couldn't it be
Neon lighting
Neon lighting
Oh, the red light bulb
The right light bulb
You have no friends here
You've never been here
Oh no!
Oh, the red light bulb
And the shadows
One thousand shadows
Lick the wall
Couldn't it be
A beaded curtain
A coltish limb seen
Black velvet joy
Couldn't it be
He's someone's daughter
He shakes and he totters
And you're a naughty boy
Oh, the red light bulb
This placе is haunted
One thousand bodies
Hеre before
Oh, the red light bulb
And the shadows
One thousand shadows
Lick the wall
Couldn't it be
Black velvet
Jesus painting
Gold halo
Couldn't it be
The maroon carpet
Taste of copper
Oh, the red light bulb
