Lights down. Glass up. Tell me, darling— What are you afraid of? Black silk, red light You look nervous tonight Silver on my fingers One smile, and you surrender Don't pretend you know me Don't act like you can see Every little secret You keep underneath your teeth I've got time You've got lies Let's see which one survives You hesitate I notice that You look away I look right back Don't make excuses Don't change the subject You knew the risk So why'd you touch it? VELVET VENOM Sweet on the tongue, cold in the blood Come a little closer Tell me what you're made of VELVET VENOM One wrong move, and the silence comes You can call it dangerous I call it having fun No promises No regrets You haven't seen my worst side yet VELVET VENOM Go on, darling Place your bet Red glass, black smoke Everybody has a price Some sell their secrets Some just sell a pretty lie I don't need your story I can read between the lines Funny how the guilty Always swear that they're just fine Keep your hands steady Keep your story straight I love watching people Realize they're running late You wanted answers You wanted truth Now every word Is pointing back at you Don't blame the mirror Don't curse the light You saw the danger You walked inside VELVET VENOM Sweet on the tongue, cold in the blood Come a little closer Tell me what you're made of VELVET VENOM One wrong move, and the silence comes You can call it dangerous I call it having fun No promises No regrets You haven't seen my worst side yet VELVET VENOM Go on, darling Place your bet Smile for the camera Lie to my face Say that you trust me Say it with grace I love the moment The mask slips away That little expression When you finally understand I'm not the man You wanted me to be I'm just the one You failed to read Look at me. Don't blink. Think carefully Before you speak. No second warning. No second chance. You had your choice. You made your stance. VELVET VENOM Sweet on the tongue, cold in the blood Come a little closer See what you're made of VELVET VENOM Watch your pretty little world come undone You can call it dangerous You knew it all along No promises No regrets I'll be the name you can't forget VELVET VENOM Go on, darling Place your bet Lights up. Glass down. You should get going. ...Unless you want another drink.
