Velvet Revolver

Click… load… kiss.

Another target — on my list.

⸻

He spoke in riddles, smelled like sin,

Said, “Baby, you’re trouble,” I said, “Let’s begin.”

Velvet dress, cigarette glow,

One pull of my trigger — and down you go.

⸻

I don’t love, I aim to thrill,

Every kiss is a warning still.

You chased a flame you could never hold,

My heart’s a gun with a barrel of gold.

⸻

Velvet revolver — shoot to love, not kill,

Silk and steel — I bend your will.

Bang, bang — but it’s a touch so sweet,

You’ll bleed in rhythm to my heartbeat.

Velvet revolver — soft and wild,

Danger dressed like something mild.

Pull me close, I’ll let you fall,

Velvet revolver — I take it all.

⸻

Your words were silver, mine were fire,

We played with truth, then called it desire.

Love’s a crime with no confession,

I’m both the bullet and the lesson.

⸻

Hold your breath, don’t say a thing,

The devil waltzes when I sing.

You wanted heaven, but this is hell,

One kiss from me and you’ll never tell.

⸻

They call me danger, they call me fame,

But I just play a loaded game.

Love is mercy, love is war —

And baby, that’s what I’m shooting for.

⸻

Velvet revolver — aimed at you,

One shot of truth, a kiss of blue.

Bang, bang — the echo rings,

Another heart under velvet strings.

Velvet revolver — soft but sure,

I’m the poison you can’t cure.

When the music stops, I stand tall —

Velvet revolver — I took it all.
