Lyrics
Dropped to my knees
Soon a missionary blessed
Seen a man in a large hat and a bulletproof vest
Stubbed my toe
Thrown my fist
I wipe my tears on your
Velvet Elvis
Look through your cracks
Through your picket fence
Lost hours last week, lost dollars and sense
Open my eyes up, ducked and missed
I wipe my tears on your
Velvet Elvis
First time it broke
The second it died
In your den of iniquity, on your bed of lies
Open your mouth, I took the fifth
I wipe my tears on your
Velvet Elvis
Don't walk away
Don't leave me behind
Don't walk on me
Don't tread on me
Don't second guess me
Don't try to impress me
Don't alleviate me
Don't humiliate me
Don't analyse me
Don't rationalize me
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't leave me behind
Don't persecute me
Don't try and hoop me
Don't consitute me
Don 't slap or shoot
I wipe my tears
I wipe my tears
I wipe my tears
I wipe my tears
On a
On a
On a
Velvet Elvis
A hunk of burning looks
In a heartbreak hotel
Somebody tell me where a lightswitch is
