Velvet Goldmine

I think I prefer if you didn't know anything special about me

Yes, I think it's best, given my high propensity

For making poetry out of every shooting star

So please don't fall in love, I'm not the boy

You should be plucking off petals for, or telling secrets about

Believe me, I really want to feel it

This time, I really thought I could

But just when I started to feel happy again

That's when my heart went all to pieces, my friend

'Cause you never know what beauty you'll find

Down the velvet goldmine

So then let it snow, let there be tinsel all trimming the boulevard

And all those baggage claims

I'll be at the movies, I'll have my own row at the Cinerama Dome

Handing out miracles, giving out angels' wings

To every mother's child who knows

Whenever you're starting to feel happy again

That's when your heart goes all to pieces, my friend

'Cause whoever knows what beauty you'll find

Down the velvet goldmine

'Cause maybe I'm starting to feel happy again

Maybe these arms won't know how to let go of him

And are we the wise ones gathered, confessing our fears

Searching the stars within us that others might hear

There could be angels waiting to bring us the news

Of one little boy in love with the world left to choose

Can we leave all this heartache behind

In the velvet goldmine?

Jag är ovan, jag är ovan

Jag är ovan, jag ovan
