Big Thief - Velvet Ring lyrics

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 want to take you home I just want to 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
