Wrap up my heart, Velveteen
Make it immune, make it pristine
Tell every creep it’s for taking—
Stop them from taking—
Watch them get bold
Love velvet love velvet love, oh
Love make me up make up, velvet love
Let go, let go of the righteous cloak…
open up to silence, oh oh
Soften the blow, Velveteen
The blow from within no one can see
Swathe it in dream’s decoration—
A fine installation, a comfort for me
You bring me satiny things
I bring you whatever you need
I was sold
in your hold
I bring the comfort you need
Styrofoam and feather?
Or should I bring you leather?
Love velvet love velvet love, oh
Love make me up make up, velvet love
Let go, let go of the stilted tone
let go and let yourself be known
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Sold, oh, sold
