A recorded reading of “Velvet Alibi”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
You looked like a warning in velvet, And I never read fine print anyway. You said, “Don’t fall,”—but made it sound like flirtin’. Lipstick like a blood oath, heels like a curtain. Every glance a loaded gun, You aimed, I grinned—what fun. And I should’ve known better, But baby, I love the setup. You're my velvet alibi, Dressed in sin, sold as style. You kiss like you lie, Smooth, but always wild. Call me when it all goes wrong, I'll wear your chaos like cologne. Lit the fuse in your apartment, Watched it burn like a compliment. You said love was just a symptom, Of boredom in the system. Smoke curled like your tongue did, Truth? That’s overrated. You're my velvet alibi, Crime scene in a dress, Confessed in sighs. And when they ask, “Was it you?” I’ll say, “Only if the glove fits too.”
Instructional lyrics
[Intro: lazy bass riff, lo-fi piano chords, snare brushes] You looked like a warning in velvet, And I never read fine print anyway. [Verse 1] You said, “Don’t fall,”—but made it sound like flirtin’. Lipstick like a blood oath, heels like a curtain. Every glance a loaded gun, You aimed, I grinned—what fun. [Pre-Chorus: drums tighten, guitar lick creeps in] And I should’ve known better, But baby, I love the setup. [Chorus: full band kicks in, sleazy swagger vox] You're my velvet alibi, Dressed in sin, sold as style. You kiss like you lie, Smooth, but always wild. Call me when it all goes wrong, I'll wear your chaos like cologne. [Verse 2: piano sneaks back in under gritty guitar] Lit the fuse in your apartment, Watched it burn like a compliment. You said love was just a symptom, Of boredom in the system. [Bridge: stripped-back bass + whispered vocals] Smoke curled like your tongue did, Truth? That’s overrated. [Final Chorus: more vocal grit, layered guitars] You're my velvet alibi, Crime scene in a dress, Confessed in sighs. And when they ask, “Was it you?” I’ll say, “Only if the glove fits too.” [Outro: lo-fi piano solo fades into static]
