Velvet Snow
Kings of Leon · Boxed [2011]
walking like you're stuck in velvet snow
Start in on your story and i'll go
walking like you're stuck in velvet snow
Glowing 'cause you're sweating on the floor,
glowing 'cause you're sweating on the floor
Dancing like you'll never dance no more,
glowing 'cause you're sweating on the floor
And then you go, and when you go,
you get to going way too fast, an i'm so slow
Turn out the lights, she's coming to fight,
and then she'll go
Death row smoking getting to your face,
Death row smoking getting to your face
Showing off your somthing shaved and lacy,
Death row smoking getting to your face
And then you go, and when you go,
you get to going way too fast, an i'm so slow
Turn out the lights, she's coming to fight,
and then she'll go
Little Jo, she warned me not to call you,
stoked that you were carrying some bad news
Leave it up to me and i'll just drown you,
out into the city you came from.
