A graceful overtone,
A good sign of a new song
And a tension made to last
She was
A place to be alone
A violet with a backbone
And I made her leave so fast
And now I'm singing
Why should I waste time with a loved one?
Why should I even go for the long run?
If I carry a velvet gun?
If I carry a velvet gun
Why would I have violence for protection?
If it's that fun?
(Is it that fun)
Then I'll carry a velvet gun
I'll carry a velvet gun
She was
A tasteful melody
Gold-tone and clarity
Like a soothin' lullaby
She knows
We won't be anything
Other than a blue note
We will never harmonize
It got me thinking
Why should I waste time with a loved one?
Why should I even go for the long run?
If I carry a velvet gun
If I carry a velvet gun
Why would I have violence for protection?
If it's that fun?
(Is it that fun)
Then I'll carry a velvet gun
I'll carry a velvet gun
Bite the bullet
Kill the gun
Bite the bullet
Kill the fun
Bite the bullet
Kill the gun
Bite the bullet
Bite the bullet
Why should I waste time with a loved one?
Why should I even go for the long run?
If I carry a velvet gun
If I carry a velvet gun
Why would I have violence for protection?
If it's that fun?
(Is it that fun)
Then I'll carry a velvet gun
I'll carry a velvet gun
I'll carry a velvet gun
I'll carry a velvet gun
I'll carry a velvet gun
I'll carry a velvet gun
