The Velvets

by Cannelle

/

lyrics

We are the velvet ones
We speak with velvet tongues
We’re the moonshiners, low-lighters, oh – we are the velvets

We are the silent kings
Of all underground things
We’ve got the swagger, the cash, the charm – we are the velvets

You know we run this town
Where the night life abounds
We’re the bootleggers, wish-granters, oh – we are the velvets

We own the night
Speak soft and quiet
On velvet feet we walk

Like moths to light
We fly by night
With velvet tongues we talk

We sleep the daylight hours
Because the night is ours
We’re the night-creatures, night-preachers, oh – we are the velvets

We are the velvet ones
We speak with velvet tongues
We are the ones that you dream of – we are the velvets

We are the velvet ones
We are the velvet ones
Speakeasy, with velvet tongue – we are the velvets
