Velveteen
Sweet sweet velveteen
Digs her heel in now the pavement's complete
Puts on a sneer with a dirty martini
Now she's dancing in front of the band
Sweet sweet velveteen
Walks like a secret that you have to repeat
Wets her lips with an amber maybe
Now she's dancing in front of the band
Such a sweet sweet lie
sweet sweet velveteen
Walks like a secret that you hate to repeat
A foreign film she's colored glass
Cinderella playing in the trash
Now she's dancing in front of the band
Sweet sweet velveteen
Digs her heel into the pavement's disease
Makes a toast with badfinger's ghost
And she shrugs off his shame borrowed shame
Her melancholy scent is money well spent
And she's dancin' in front of the band
People stare
They don't know much but they all know her name they all know
She's such a sweet sweet lie
Terciopelo
Dulce dulce terciopelo
Clava su tacón, ahora el pavimento está completo
Pone una mueca con un martini sucio
Ahora está bailando frente a la banda
Dulce dulce terciopelo
Camina como un secreto que debes repetir
Humedece sus labios con un ámbar tal vez
Ahora está bailando frente a la banda
Tal dulce dulce mentira
Dulce dulce terciopelo
Camina como un secreto que odias repetir
Una película extranjera, es vidrio de colores
Cenicienta jugando en la basura
Ahora está bailando frente a la banda
Dulce dulce terciopelo
Clava su tacón en la enfermedad del pavimento
Brinda con el fantasma de Badfinger
Y se encoge de hombros ante su vergüenza, vergüenza prestada
Su melancólico aroma vale la pena
Y está bailando frente a la banda
La gente mira
No saben mucho, pero todos conocen su nombre, todos saben
Ella es una dulce dulce mentira
