Intro[]

Velvet Crowbar leaked in late September 2012.

It was recorded in 2010, so those speculating it to be a Paradise outtake are incorrect.


Lyrics[]

I was addicted to you, but I didn't know it
You were afflicted by booze, you didn't show it, oh
Life is a velvet crowbar hittin' you over the head
You're bleeding but you want more
"This is so like you" I said
"Put yourself on back to bed."

You're like crack to me I don't wanna leave
I'm watching you sleep, 'fraid you'll stop breathing
My baby's on his 8th life darling, staying with him till the morning.
You're like crack to me
So fun I cant see, with your golden grill, your purple dream
My baby's on his 8th life darling, gonna watch him till the morning.

I was addicted to you, didn't want to blow it
You were a dick with your crew, always on the road
You want to touch life so hard why can't you give it a rest
You're not that bright for a star
Burned yourself out nothing left
Burned yourself out nothing left

You're like crack to me I don't wanna leave
I'm watching you sleep, 'fraid you'll stop breathing
My baby's on his 8th life darling, staring with him till the morning.
You're like crack to me
So fun I cant see, with your golden grill, your purple grill
My baby's on his 8th life darling, gonna watch him till the morning.

Styrofoam on the microphone, cant give it up, can't go it along
Flame colored paradise for you darlin', but death doesn't come with a warning

Life is velvet crowbar, hitting you over the head
You're bleeding syrup amour. bleeding to death

You're like crack to me I don't wanna leave
I'm watching you sleep, 'fraid you'll stop breathing
My baby's on his 8th life darling, staying with him till the morning.
You're like crack to me
So fun I cant see, with your golden grill, your purple dream
My baby's on his 8th life darling, gonna watch him till the morning.

(My baby's on his last life darlin',gonna stay around till morning)
(My baby's on his 8th life darling,but death doesn't come with a warning.)
