Here we are
Trapped in this never changing time loop
Remember the days
The beaucoup times you made my heart melt
But that was so long ago
Those muggy summer nights on the streetcar
And every time I look at my phone
I wonder where you are
Should I go up
Should I go down
I don’t see your face around here anymore
And I know that I ain’t above you
I’m just waiting in the queue
But I hear the brass band calling
it’s time for me to head on inside
Because I’m here
Help me wash away my fear
Turn on the light
Have the band come in on stage right
You know my love can be rented
And you know that I can be so tempted
I can be there in a minute and honey
You can call me Lord Velvet
Now I have seen all the stars
There up high on the avenue
And the first time that I saw you
You were sweet as honeydew
Another road, another town
I could turn this car around but it ain’t right
And though my name’s on that marquee
I can almost guarantee
That your sweet magnolia trees are on my mind
And I know that I ain’t above you
I’m just waiting in the queue
But I hear the brass band calling
it’s time for me to head on inside
Because I’m here
Help me wash away my fear
Turn on the light
Have the band come in on stage right
You know my love can be rented
And you know that I can be so tempted
I can be there in a minute and honey
You can call me Lord Velvet
Your fruit cage has got me blinded
You know that I can’t hide it
So open up the door
it’s time for me to head on inside
Because I’m here
I can wash away your fear
Turn off the lights
Put that record on the flipside
You know my love can be rented
And you know that I can be so tempted
And I can finish in a minute and honey
You can call me Lord Velvet
