Velvet Elvis Lyrics

She's just a wave dressed in gun metal gray

Burning holes through the paper skies

I seen her look like a silver hook

And I'm in love with the Antichrist

So I glare like a scared magpie

And I drowned in her river some twenty years back

The words became frozen to a block in my throat

Where there's a mote with a dragon in black

Well everybody please take a big step back

My my

At least I got my

My velvet Elvis

At least I got at least I got at least I got my

My velvet Elvis

The Mayflower ships me to her foreign shores

So I build a house of bones in her woods

I never sleep so instead I drink

To the deaths of our childhood

With red wine moonshine torn jeans Dramamine

Laughing gas and fallacies

We can drop truth serum in our eyes

And brush up on democracy

Well everybody please take a big step back

At least I got my

My velvet Elvis

At least I got at least I got at least I got my

My my velvet Elvis

Your lips serenade a concussion grenade

I swoon into a pit of fire

You're dolled up in black you're as sharp as a tack

And we're dead-drunk in the holy empire

''Cause that's love

I'll snap my own wrists and I'll burn down my house

Just be'Cause

I still got my my velvet Elvis

My velvet Elvis
