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.
