LYRICS

VELVET SURPRISE

A light bulb over me, shining a strawberry brightness over me

Give's me the strength to move on when the world's on me

Snowflakes on windowsills

And when caught under curtains that fall upon houses

And when I'm cold as stone, Holly's on the phone, she tells me not to worry

She says that I should rest, that it be for the best, she says that there's no hurry

But every time I go her way, everything of mine slips away,

Everything of mine slips away, everthing of mine slips away

This platinum armour for keeping my heart and my lungs in working form

Biting the legs of the cold, pin it to the floor

Fighting with swords made of crystals, in the war,

Out of the hunted into the warmth

And when I'm cold as stone, Holly's on the phone, she tells me not to worry

She says that I should rest, that it be for the best, she says that there's no hurry

But every time I go her way, everything of mine slips away,

Everything of mine slips away, everthing of mine slips away

But every time I go her way, everything of mine slips away,

Everything of mine slips away, everthing of mine slips away

And when I'm cold as stone, Holly's on the phone, she tells me not to worry

She says that I should rest, that it be for the best, she says that there's no hurry

But every time I go her way, everything of mine slips away,

Everything of mine slips away, everthing of mine slips away

But every time I go her way, everything of mine slips away,

Everything of mine slips away, everthing of mine slips away

Walk to the river now, she's no carpet, she's a velvet surprise

She'll colour in blank spaces and you won't know know if you look with your eyes

If you look with your eyes,

If you look with your eyes
