Текст песни
[Verse 1] Lipstick on a paper cup Neon buzzing over rusted trucks Vacancy sign flickers twice Like it’s thinking ’bout its life You pull in with your collar up Ash falls soft on the dashboard dust Say my name like a half‑told lie Eyes all midnight, mouth all July (mm) [Chorus] You got a velvet motel heart Checkin’ in shadows, payin’ in scars Kiss me slow in the parking lot dark Like we’re black‑and‑white, falling apart Baby, we’re doomed from the start But I keep layin’ down beside Your velvet motel heart (ah) [Verse 2] Room key on a metal ring Bible in the drawer, you laugh and sing Static on the tiny screen Old cars racing through a desert scene You trace stories on my spine Lines of every town you left behind Say, “Love’s just bad TV” But your hands keep holding onto me (oh) [Chorus] You got a velvet motel heart Checkin’ in shadows, payin’ in scars Kiss me slow in the parking lot dark Like we’re black‑and‑white, falling apart Baby, we’re doomed from the start But I keep layin’ down beside Your velvet motel heart [Bridge] Rain writes cursive on the chrome We talk about a different home You light another, say, “Not yet” Every promise tastes like a cigarette Sirens somewhere far off cry Coffee burns, but time slides by If this is wrong, then let it stay Pressed in amber, stuck this way (mmm, stay) [Chorus] You got a velvet motel heart Checkin’ in shadows, payin’ in scars Kiss me slow in the parking lot dark Like we’re black‑and‑white, falling apart Baby, we’re doomed from the start But I keep layin’ down beside Your velvet motel heart (Yeah, I keep layin’ down beside) Your velvet motel heart
