Verse 1
Leather boots hitting the pavement at three
I’m looking for the woman who’s the ruin of me
I saw your Cadillac outside the neon light
Parked in a driveway that wasn’t mine tonight
The whispers in the alley, the laughter through the glass
I’m watching my dignity turn into ash
You’re addicted to the danger, the touch of a stranger’s hand
While I’m drowning in the desert of a broken man!
Pre-Chorus
My friends all tell me, "Man, let her go"
But they don’t feel the fever, they don’t really know
The way you look at me when you’re coming through the door
With the scent of someone else—and I’m begging you for more!
Chorus
Velvet Chains! You’ve got me locked in tight
Electric Pain! In the middle of the night
You’re a silver-tongued devil with a heart of ice
But I’ll pay the toll, I’ll pay the price
I’m a slave to the rhythm of your cheating heart
Velvet Chains! Tearing me apart!
Verse 2
You walk into the kitchen with that "innocent" stare
With the glitter on your neck and the mess in your hair
You spin a web of lies like a spider in the dark
But your touch is a lightning bolt, a deadly spark
I should pack my bags, I should walk out the gate
But I’m hooked on the poison, I’m loving the hate
Every time you leave, you take a piece of my soul
But I’m losing my mind and I’m losing control!
Bridge
(Guitar Solo: High-speed shredding with heavy wah-pedal usage and dive bombs)
Pull the trigger!
Burn the bridge!
I’m standing on the edge of the jagged ridge!
Go on, run to him! Go on, play your game!
Just come back home and scream my name!
Chorus
Velvet Chains! You’ve got me locked in tight
Electric Pain! In the middle of the night
You’re a silver-tongued devil with a heart of ice
But I’ll pay the toll, I’ll pay the price
I’m a slave to the rhythm of your cheating heart
Velvet Chains! Tearing me apart!
Outro
Tearing me apart!
Yeah, you’re no good for me!
But I’ll never leave!
(High-pitched power scream)
VELVET CHAAAAAAINS!
(Heavy power chord crash, feedback fades out)
