Velvet Sins

[Verse]
I wore your name like a fever
Red wine stains on my mouth 
We lit the night like a matchstick 
And burned that old city down 

*sensual sigh*
>whispers in the hallways’
>Promises I won’t keep 

Baby, I’m your favorite nightmare 
Better lose that beauty sleep 


[Pre Chorus]
I know you want it 
The taste, the thrill, the sin
A kiss like a loaded weapon 
Baby - pull me in 

[Chorus]
We dance in velvet sins 
Beneath electric skin 
Hearts like loaded dice 
You bet your soul and love the price 
We’re poison in disguise 
We’re saints with devil eyes 
We dance in velvet sins
And we’ll do it all again 

>And again, and again, and again 
(Harder! Give it to me!) 

[Verse]
Your lovers touch is a trigger
My name a curse in your head 
I left my mark on your mirror 
In lipstick shade: blood red 

>We’re wolves in the chapel
>Sermons soaked in gin 

Baby, loves a dirty gamble 
And I’m your dirty sin 

[Pre Chorus]
I know you crave it (Yeah! Yeah, Oww!) 
The dark, the spark, the night (Ooo)
A touch of unholy fire (Daddy!)
Burn me till we die 

[Chorus]

We dance in velvet sins 
Beneath electric skin 
Hearts like loaded dice 
You bet your soul and love the price 
We’re poison in disguise 
We’re saints with devil eyes 
We dance in velvet sins
And we’ll do it all again 

[Bridge - half spoken, seductive, over sparse synth and bass]
Call me cruel, call me queen
I’ll wear every wicked thing you mean
Dress me up in midnight lies 
Kiss me till the evening dies (She doesn’t have to know) 

[Final Chorus]

We dance in velvet sins 
Beneath electric skin 
Hearts like loaded dice 
You bet your soul and love the price 
We’re poison in disguise 
We’re saints with devil eyes 
We dance in velvet sins
And we’ll do it all again

(Again baby! Oooh…harder!)
