"Velvet Goldmine" lyrics

"Velvet Goldmine"

You got crazy legs, you got amazing head
You got rings on your fingers and your hair's hot red
You got the width of my tongue, name on the sun
I clutch you close to my breast 'cause you're the only one
Who uses school to pleasure

You make me act real gone, you make me troll along
I had to ravish your capsule, suck you dry
Feel the teeth in your bones, heal ya head with my own
Why if I don't have you whole, is that your final love?
Here all together

Velvet goldmine, you stroke me like the rain
Snake it, take it, panther princess you must stay
Velvet goldmine, naked on your chain
I'll be your king volcano, right for you again and again
My velvet goldmine

You're my taste, my trip, I'll be your master zip
I'll chop your hair off for kicks, you'll make me jump to my feet
So you'll give me your hand, give me your sound
Let me sea wash your face, I'm falling, I can't stand
Ooh, clutch your make-up

Velvet goldmine, you stroke me like the rain
Snake it, take it, panther princess you must stay
Velvet goldmine, naked on your chain
I'll be your king volcano, right for you again and again
My velvet goldmine

Oh
Shoot you down, bang, bang

Velvet goldmine, you stroke me like the rain
Snake it, take it, panther princess you must stay
Velvet goldmine, naked on your chain
I'll be your king volcano, right for you again and again
My velvet goldmine

[Repeating:]
Velvet Goldmine
