Velvet Cycle

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent hum is loud
Hiding in a soapy cloud
The street is black and wet
A face I should forget
Quarters click and slide
Nowhere left to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Bitter taste of gin
Where did we begin?
Underneath the sheets
On these empty streets
[Chorus]
Velvet cycle, spin me slow
Nowhere left for us to go
Neon bleeding on the tile
Stay a little while
Washing out the trace
Of your hollow face
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning in the blue
Looking for the true
Spinning in the blue
I am over you
[Verse]
Faded lace and silk
White as winter milk
I remember how you touched
Maybe it was far too much
Another name I can’t recall
Writing shadows on the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
Bitter taste of gin
Where did we begin?
Underneath the sheets
On these empty streets
[Chorus]
Velvet cycle, spin me slow
Nowhere left for us to go
Neon bleeding on the tile
Stay a little while
Washing out the trace
Of your hollow face
[Bridge]
Tape is dragging on the head
Everything you ever said
Warped and bent out of key
What you did to me
The theremin begins to wail
Our love is up for sale
[Breakdown]
[Verse]
Dryer heat is rising high
Like a heavy midnight sigh
One-night ghosts are in the air
I can feel them everywhere
Lint is catching in the screen
The purest thing I’ve ever been
[Chorus]
Velvet cycle, spin me slow
Nowhere left for us to go
Neon bleeding on the tile
Stay a little while
Washing out the trace
Of your hollow face
[Hook]
Spin it round again
Wash away the men
Spin it round again
Let the night begin
[Outro]
