Velvet Strobe

[Intro]

You walk in slow

Like a scene I know

Gold dust on your coat

Time runs

Then chokes

[Verse 1]

You say my name

Like it’s half a dare

Lip print on my glass

Perfume in the air

You lean too close

I lose my place

Your shadow draws

Across my face

[Chorus]

Velvet strobe

You’re flashing in my head again

On and off

Can’t quit you when I’m caving in

Hit me once

I’m chasing every afterglow

Velvet strobe

Velvet strobe

You flicker and you never go

[Verse 2]

We talk like thieves

Trading little sins

Laugh into the dark

Static on my skin

You pull me out

Of the usual script

One wrong look

And my balance slips

[Chorus]

Velvet strobe

You’re flashing in my head again

On and off

Can’t quit you when I’m caving in

Hit me once

I’m chasing every afterglow

Velvet strobe

Velvet strobe

You flicker and you never go

[Bridge]

Spin me

Spin me slow

Then faster (hey!)

Hands up

Heartbeats beating backwards

Say you’ll stay

Till the room stops turning

In your eyes

Every color burning (oh)

[Chorus]

Velvet strobe

You’re flashing in my head again

Velvet strobe

You’re flashing in my head again

On and off

Can’t quit you when I’m caving in

Hit me once

I’m chasing every afterglow

Velvet strobe

Velvet strobe

You flicker and you never go
