0:04Velveteen
0:08Velveteen
0:17I see you getting fit
0:21I can't make sense of it
0:24At night you roll up your jeans
0:27And pull on your velveteen
0:31Tonight you're on the stairs
0:35What are you doing there
0:38Take off your lethargy
0:41And down the bannister you slide
0:46Who is she
0:49Because I know that it can't be me
0:53Who is she
0:56Because I know that it can't be
0:59A closetful of lace
1:02Acquired recently
1:06Who am I to debase
1:09In this economy
1:13Is she a perfect ten
1:16Have you found Christ again
1:20You tell me you don't have the time
1:23To cop to it and vanish in the night
1:28Who is she
1:31Because I know that it can't be me
1:35Who is she
1:38Because I know that it can't be me
1:42You fell away and I know how it all boils down
1:47You hesitate maintain charade
1:50And I fall to the bottle the bottom again
2:03We used to tell each other everything
2:06And now we're passing ships in night
2:10We used to tell each other all the lies
2:17And in a fairly civil way
2:20Whatever gets you through the night
2:24Who is she
2:27Because I know that it can't be me
2:31Who is she
2:34Because I know that it can't be me
2:38Who is she
2:41'Cause I know that it can't be me
2:45I know that it can't be me
2:48I I know that it can't be me
2:52Who is she
2:55I know that it can't be me
2:59Who is she
3:02I know that it can't be
Velveteen Velveteen I see you getting fit I can't make sense of it At night you roll up your jeans And pull on your velveteen Tonight you're on the stairs What are you doing there Take off your lethargy And down the bannister you slide Who is she Because I know that it can't be me Who is she Because I know that it can't be A closetful of lace Acquired recently Who am I to debase In this economy Is she a perfect ten Have you found Christ again You tell me you don't have the time To cop to it and vanish in the night Who is she Because I know that it can't be me Who is she Because I know that it can't be me You fell away and I know how it all boils down You hesitate maintain charade And I fall to the bottle the bottom again We used to tell each other everything And now we're passing ships in night We used to tell each other all the lies And in a fairly civil way Whatever gets you through the night Who is she Because I know that it can't be me Who is she Because I know that it can't be me Who is she 'Cause I know that it can't be me I know that it can't be me I I know that it can't be me Who is she I know that it can't be me Who is she I know that it can't be
