Velvet! Remember that 'historic' afternoon, heading to the secluded beach? All four of us out there, testing boundaries within reach We knew quite well we'd be spotted in a flash out there And that the gossip rags already had a story to prepare We chose a spot right on the edge, tucked against the dune To give those curious watchers a thrilling afternoon At least, that’s what you’d think, right? Haha, the irony! Will we top the covers with some vanity? Who cares! PR is PR, we don't give a single care Haha, you've gotta make sacrifices for your personal brand So carry on right on the edge, looking oh so grand! Just a lovely day of doing absolutely nothing at all, ooh! Stark naked on the beach, having ourselves a ball, pooh! Getting away from it all, enjoying our care-free zone The Velvet Karens, chilling out completely bare-bone! Hours of deep reflection, baking in the scorching sun So the world could worship perfection, every single one No tan lines in sight, a masterpiece of art Pure nature in our 'kingdom', playing our supreme part And right on cue, the first 'heroes' started to peek Sad little figures whose lives are incredibly bleak Silent little figures who have absolutely zero to say Creeping in the bushes for some warmth on a cold day Ivy saw those figures and sneered with pure delight "Look at them wander, victims of the daily plight!" She hurled that frisbee on purpose, slicing through the weeds Right at the bush where a hidden watcher feeds And who got to perform this 'heroic' athletic chore? The star! Walking straight at him like royalty from afar Eye to eye with this tragic, lonely joke Who probably needs permission for a glass of Coke I gave him a dripping, cynical smile and said: "Well, you're the grand inspiration for our next big hit! One of the girls just took a crisp photo of you where you sit Perfect for our new album cover, truly sublime! So tell me, curious peeper, what's your name this time?" You should've seen the sheer panic in his empty stare He freaked out completely, frozen in mid-air He bolted through the sand, stumbling in absolute fright The biggest coward on the beach, running out of sight! Returning straight back to the girls to tell them what was done We rolled on the ground laughing, mocking everyone "How do you come up with this, you nutcase!" Kim began to roar "Nutcase, poor man!" Daisy shrieked, laughing even more We didn't even take a photo, it was a total lie! Just a perfect mind game to make that sucker cry! Tears streaming down our faces, we couldn't even breathe That lonely figure really thought he was about to achieve! Just a lovely day of doing absolutely nothing at all, ooh! Stark naked on the beach, having ourselves a ball, pooh! Getting away from it all, enjoying our care-free zone The Velvet Karens, chilling out completely bare-bone! Our recording studio slot waited, the mixing desk was set But that pathetic peeper gave us the best idea yet He was the perfect inspiration for our brand-new track A brilliant muse for the next single we will attack We totally played him, messed with his little head With minds full of sharp contempt, we're moving right ahead! Theatrical shouting: "Come on girls, one last dip!" Shaking off the noise on our little beach trip Then packing up, utterly bored, sand inside the bag Back to looking busy, acting like an important star What an unforgettable day of high-class, elite fun Pure contempt is flowing thanks to what these figures have done! We are The Velvet Karens... thanks for listening and until next time..
