She said, ketamine don't mean a thing to me unless you love me Yoy can suffocate on milk and honey Wash it away, the air we breathis not some gift to me It's always scarce each time we meet And if you could hold me close And feel this noose around your throat Just look me one last time in the eye Just to say goodbye When you hold me close it's like being choked by a velvet rope When you hold me close it's like being choked by a velvet rope And you wanna survive? Well don't look me in the eyes When you hold me close it's like being choked by a velvet rope By a velvet rope It's that look in your eyes as you Try to survive this wave of desolation It's impossible to save them Turn the knife on all the world, turn on every boy and girl Watch the noose slip round your neck As you close your eyes and draw a breath And if you could hold me close And feel this noose around your throat Just look me one last time in the eye Just to say goodbye When you hold me close it's like being choked by a velvet rope When you hold me close it's like being choked by a velvet And you wanna survive? Well don't look me in the eyes When you hold me close it's like being choked by a velvet rope By a velvet rope Into the arms of everyone you've ever loved At the same time one last kiss from a million lips you once loved As you drift and drift and drift away Drift and drift and drift away, drift and drift and drift away Drift away one last time When you hold me close it's like being choked by a velvet When you hold me close it's like being choked by a velvet rope And you wanna survive? Well don't look me in the eyes When you hold me close it's like being choked by a velvet rope By a velvet rope
