Big Thief - Velvet Ring

Chilled in the kitchen of a city tombThe light would flicker like a violent wombThe night was thicker than a smoky fumeEliza waited in the roomBen, he loved her like he loved no oneThe way she laughed and held a smoking gunThe way she always said, "What's done is done"And he was not the only oneLove is a gentle thingYours is thicker than a velvet ringYours is thicker than a velvet ringA victim here with a sharp, sharp bladeAnd Ben, he knew how she was getting paidHer water broke, and they would have to waitAnd when he knew that she was foolingHe faced the mirror to avoid the thingWe're out of money, and we've sold the blingAnd I just wanna take you homeI just wanna take you homeLove is a gentle thingYours is thicker than a velvet ringYours is thicker than a velvet ringAnd I am wandering, 'ringAnd I am wandering
