Velvet Underground Moon

Mmm... Yeah...


Smoke burns right through the curtain seam,
You’re drunk again, flawlessly cold and mean.
Ice in the dim bar crystal tastes so bitter,
Old jazz beats hard against the floorboards’ clutter.
I burn my lips upon this gin and tonic,
While you look for an exit, so laconic.
Your drunken gaze will drown me just for free
In dry despair halfway to where I'd be.


You sin again, you shut your mouth,
And crush a matchstick facing south...

Припев
Above the porch where all the fights decay,
Shines the moon of the velvet underground.
It flows with heavy dark along the way,
Mixing my pride with wild pain unwound.
See how the edges of the night now melt away,
I’m asking nothing, just don't pity me today...
The underground moon drinks with me till down.


You wreck my nerves just like an ancient blues,
Count up to ten while I tear up our vow.
Sweet vermouth drips onto the velvet shoes,
You sell a cheap bow to appease me now.
I knew the price of every phone call made,
Your heavy drags, every lie portrayed.
Yet with my finger I still draw an arc
On fogged-up mirrors bidding farewell in the dark.


You sin again, you shut your mouth,
And fall down from the ledge down south...

Припев
Above the porch where all the fights decay,
Shines the moon of the velvet underground.
It flows with heavy dark along the way,
Mixing my pride with wild pain unwound.
See how the edges of the night now melt away,
I’m asking nothing, just don't pity me today...
The underground moon drinks with me till down.




You thought I’d break from all these bitter blows?
Look at my tears — it’s only salt that flows.
Inside my glass, a strange hybrid rang clear
Of pure spite mixed with quiet, deafened fear.
So take your coat and lock the door behind,
Given some time, I’ll leave this mess behind...

Припев
Above the porch where all the fights decay,
Shines the moon of the velvet underground.
It flows with heavy dark along the way,
Mixing my pride with wild pain unwound.
See how the edges of the night now melt away,
I’m asking nothing, just don't pity me today...
The underground moon drinks with me till down.


Yeah, drinks till down...
Moon of the velvet underground...
Take your coat.
Walk away.
