Velvet Elvis

Lyrics

Dropped to my knees Soon a missionary blessed Seen a man in a large hat and a bulletproof vest Stubbed my toe Thrown my fist I wipe my tears on your Velvet Elvis Look through your cracks Through your picket fence Lost hours last week, lost dollars and sense Open my eyes up, ducked and missed I wipe my tears on your Velvet Elvis First time it broke The second it died In your den of iniquity, on your bed of lies Open your mouth, I took the fifth I wipe my tears on your Velvet Elvis Don't walk away Don't leave me behind Don't walk on me Don't tread on me Don't second guess me Don't try to impress me Don't alleviate me Don't humiliate me Don't analyse me Don't rationalize me Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't leave me behind Don't persecute me Don't try and hoop me Don't consitute me Don 't slap or shoot I wipe my tears I wipe my tears I wipe my tears I wipe my tears On a On a On a Velvet Elvis A hunk of burning looks In a heartbreak hotel Somebody tell me where a lightswitch is
