Verse 1 Golden lights and a velvet grin Thought the ride would never end Every night was a jeweled parade Till the shine began to fade Pre-Chorus Time cuts deep and the body breaks Every pill another ache Chorus Velvet crash One day you’re a star, the next you’re trash Glitter to the gutter, fast and wild Velvet crash Booze and time will take it all Down the road you go when the kingdom falls Verse 2 Crowds once roared, now they slip away Posters peel and the debts won’t pay Mirrors crack where the dream once smiled Now the empire feels defiled Pre-Chorus Time cuts deep and the body breaks Every pill another ache Chorus Velvet crash One day you’re a star, the next you’re trash Glitter to the gutter, fast and wild Velvet crash Booze and time will take it all Down the road you go when the kingdom falls Bridge You don’t feel the fall till the floor gives way One more shot and you fade to gray Crowns dissolve in a haze of pain Nothing left but a bitter name Chorus Velvet crash One day you’re a star, the next you’re trash Glitter to the gutter, fast and wild Velvet crash Booze and time will take it all Down the road you go when the kingdom falls Outro Velvet crash… velvet crash Glitter and glam to the garbage can
