Velveteen lyrics

She’s still playin’ in my head Velveteen she’s not so dead Hangin’ off my bedroom wall She played those games for far too long She loved those rock stars one by one She gave them all she had to give She saw them fall onto the floor They left her there to weep some more Velveteen, her heart’s so strong Velveteen they love so long She’s sure to live and die that way But not until she’s played her games A long-lost hot night in the sky Around the world by night she’ll fly A rock star’s death she does not mind A lonely life is what you need tonight Velveteen her love has gone Her long-lost loves, they too have gone The end of life is drawing near She won’t just sit back and disappear She’s livin’ out her life that’s flown She’s givin’ it all she’s got that’s gold She’s telling all how she survived A rock star’s death is what she needs to lie To die To cry To fly Velveteen her heart’s so strong Velveteen her love’s so long A rock star’s death she does not mind A lonely life is what you need Cry
