Lyrics <3

Mm…
Pour the night into a crystal glass, darling…
Let it shimmer.

I dance where the lamplight goes honey-gold,
Where the trumpets sigh and the secrets get sold,
Every eye in the room thinks they know my name,
But I’ve been wearin’ a sweeter, quieter flame.

Silk on my shoulders, a lie on my tongue,
I laugh like a girl who’s forever young,
But there’s a shadow that follows me home each night,
Tall as a promise, dressed sharp as a knife.

Oh I smile for the boys with their roses and gin,
But none of them know where my trouble’s been.

I’ve got velvet on the devil’s arm,
When the band plays low and the room feels warm,
You think I’m lonely, you think I’m free,
But there’s a wicked kind of heaven waitin’ for me.
Yeah, I’ve got velvet on the devil’s arm,
And honey, it fits just fine.

They say I’m a heart that don’t ever stay,
Just another pretty thing driftin’ away,
I let them believe I’m made of air,
But someone back home knows every prayer.
He don’t come ‘round when the spotlights glow,
He likes his love where the shadows go,
With a crooked grin and a voice so deep,
It could wake the dead or put ‘em to sleep.

Oh I sip my wine and I play my role,
But there’s a fire got a hold of my soul.

I’ve got velvet on the devil’s arm,
When the blue notes cry and the crowd’s disarmed,
You think I’m broken, you think I roam,
But there’s a dark little throne that I call my home.
Yeah, I’ve got velvet on the devil’s arm,
And darling, I ain’t alone.

If you hear laughter in the late-night rain,
And it sounds too sweet to be free of pain,
That’s just me with a dangerous man,
Holdin’ my heart in the palm of his hand.
He don’t wear halos, he don’t need wings,
He buys me dreams and cursed little things,
And I’d sell my soul for the way he calls my name…
But funny thing, it was his just the same.

So go on and think I’m a lonely tune,
Just another girl croonin’ to the moon,
Let the rumors dance, let the whispers play,
They don’t know who’s waitin’ at the end of my day.

‘Cause I’ve got velvet on the devil’s arm,
When the house goes dark and the night’s disarmed,
You hear a siren, you see a flame,
But I’m wrapped in a love that don’t play fair games.
Yeah, I’ve got velvet on the devil’s arm,
And baby… that devil’s mine.

Mm…
Some girls go home to a prayer and a psalm…
I go home on the devil’s arm.

Velvet on the Devil’s Arm

Lyrics <3

Static in my veins, red light in my eyes
I taste every channel, every little lie
Neon prayers hum through my bones
I built a kingdom out of signal and stone

They flip the switch and I’m already there
A thousand faces wearing my stare
Every screen whispers my name
I sell them comfort, I sell them fame
They don’t see the wires under my skin
Or how the noise keeps caving in
I grin in pixels, sharp and wide
While something human stays buried inside

Turn me up, drown out the doubt
If they hear me, I won’t fade out

I’m Vox, baby, king of the air
I make your dreams look crystal clear
But when the signal starts to break
So does every lie I make
I’m Vox, hear the power surge
I bend the truth till it hurts
You watch me like a god on a screen
But you don’t know what I really mean

Velvette laughs in electric pink
Valentino pours me another drink
We’re a circus of sin and style
Smiling sharp for the cameras’ eyes
They think we’re untouchable, high above
But even demons starve for love
I broadcast confidence, loud and proud
While I’m terrified of the quiet now

If I go dark, will they forget
Everything I ever said

I’m Vox, baby, king of the air
I make your nightmares feel like prayers
When the volume starts to shake
You can hear my heart about to break
I’m Vox, wired and bright
Burning up in neon light
You worship the face I display
But you’d hate the one I hide away

Static crawling up my spine
Every failure, every sign
I lost myself inside the show
Now I don’t know where I go
If the screens all went to black
Would anybody want me back

No applause, just the hum
Of a world that’s finally done
With the lies I learned to sell
With the heaven, with the hell

I’m Vox, screaming through the noise
Just a lonely broken voice
Dressed in chrome and painted gold
Trying not to get too old
I’m Vox, stuck in the glow
Of a life I don’t even know
You love the legend, you love the lie
But I’m just scared to say goodbye

Static fades, the lights grow thin
Who am I when I don’t win
If no one’s watching, no one’s near
Am I still Vox if there’s no one here

Neon Static
