Some say life is a gamblin' game
Played by many and won by few
Others say life is a price that you pay
When you get here to early and you're leaving to soon

Prime of existence... like stars that shine
Beneath a jet black velveteen skies
And at night the colors light up like a carnival ride
Dance like the demons in the winter moonlight
The moons shining at you like a candle in the night
One day you'll find yourself upon a mountaintop looking in all directions
Wondering how your dreary soul could grow so incredibly high
Taste this kiss I'd kill to feel like this for all of my lifetime

Hold you close beneath those velveteen skies

I've got these pictures hanging over my head
Dancing like a wildfire at night
All of the colors come alive when I'm lying in my bed
Dance like the demon in the winter moonlight
Said yeah,
Sweet Madeline you know what love can do
Pick you up and bring you to your knees

And it's never easy leaving deserts you once walked through
I'm a poet in the rain don't know where I'll be going
I'm a rambler in the wind don't know where my skies are blowing

One day you'll find yourself upon a mountaintop looking in all directions
Wondering how your dreary soul could grow so incredibly high
Taste this kiss I'd kill to feel like this for all of my lifetime
Hold you close beneath those velveteen skies

Na na na na na na Velveteen Skies,

Na na na na na na Velveteen Skies,

Look out

Hey! Velveteen Skies
Hey! Velveteen Skies
Hey! Velveteen Skies
