Don't ask for favors

And don't risk the truth

My fingers are scissors

They're cutting you through



Cutting you through

Cutting you through

Velvet fog



The bird in my open hand

Is a captive for life

Please don't misread now

We're drinkin' happy tonight



Cutting you through

Cutting you through

Velvet fog



(inst.)



And I hear you singin'

When the pale moon gets down

Nirvana's on the jukebox

But Gene Pitney,

owns this town

And it's a town without pity

It's a town without tears



Velvet fog

Velvet fog

Velvet fog

Velvet fog
