lyrics

My baby needs a chaperone ‘cause she don’t wanna come home
In her pretty brown eyes I can see she’s thinking about leaving me
She don’t know it won’t be that easy

Her love is all I got
She makes the cold nights hot
She loves me when I’m strong
She’s strong when I’m weak

Here I am in a shadowy corner in a shitty Las Vegas motel
Just me, my .38, and a Velvet Jesus
Crying, Oh Father God,
Don’t you tell
I’ve been living in hell
Since the day you stopped loving me
Let you go
Now, you know it won’t be that easy

I’ve been dying for attention
I’ve been dying for some company
I’ve been dying for a soft touch
You can’t take that all away from me

Can’t you see that I am no one
Sad and desperate without you here
I can’t look at my reflection
I might vanish into all my fears

Here I am in a shadowy corner in a shitty Las Vegas motel
Just me, my .38, and a Velvet Jesus
Crying, Oh Father God,
Don’t you tell
I’ve been living in hell
Since the day you stopped loving me
Let you go
Now, you know it won’t be that easy

Here I am all alone in a strange room
In the dark the sun’s going down soon
A bottle of whiskey and I’m waiting for you
Oh, Velvet Jesus, tell me what should I do?

I’ve been living in hell
