She’s still playin’ in my head

Velveteen she’s not so dead

Hangin’ off my bedroom wall

She played those games for far too long

She loved those rock stars one by one

She gave them all she had to give

She saw them fall onto the floor

They left her there to weep some more

Velveteen, her heart’s so strong

Velveteen they love so long

She’s sure to live and die that way

But not until she’s played her games

A long-lost hot night in the sky

Around the world by night she’ll fly

A rock star’s death she does not mind

A lonely life is what you need tonight

Ooh ooh ooh ooh &c.

Velveteen her love has gone

Her long-lost loves, they too have gone

The end of life is drawing near

She won’t just sit back and disappear

She’s livin’ out her life that’s flown

She’s givin’ it all she’s got that’s gold

She’s telling all how she survived

A rock star’s death is what she needs to lie

To die

To cry

To fly

Ooh ooh ooh ooh &c.

Velveteen her heart’s so strong

Velveteen her love’s so long

A rock star’s death she does not mind

A lonely life is what you need

Cry
