DJ Maka - Velvet & Vices Lyrics

In a velvet world where the vices kiss the sky
We're sipping on sins with a twist of lie
You played the joker in my house of cards
But I was the queen dealing broken hearts

Velvet nights and diamond lies
We're cashing in on love that never buys
Hearts are poker chips in a game of fame
But darling in this life it's all the same

We danced on the edge of a razor's blade
Your kiss was sweet like lemonade
But you poured your venom in a crystal glass
And I drank it down watching time pass

Velvet nights and diamond lies
We're cashing in on love that never buys
Hearts are poker chips in a game of fame
But darling in this life it's all the same

You were the ace up my sleeve or so I believed
But every hand you dealt was a card up your sleeve
In a city of angels we danced with the devils
But the truth is buried deep beneath the velvet levels

Velvet nights and diamond lies
We're cashing in on love that never buys
Hearts are poker chips in a game of fame
But darling in this life it's all the same

Now the velvet's worn and the vices fade
But the echoes of our love in the night they stayed
We played the game and we paid the price
In a world of velvet & vices nothing's ever nice
