Circulating circumference
much like that of breathing
or the pumping of velvet blood
these circular motions
such that dizzy and convolute
Play with my fancy tonight
Muse
Velveteen hate machine
broken down and sick
ricocheting bullet trampoline
playing a game of six
Redheaded stepchild of ignition
a double barreled beauty
with such hair trigger
polished curves of titanium steel
bend me thy silver hammer
I'll show you where my happiness lies
Bang...
Velveteen hate machine
just a strike of the matchstick
will show you what I mean
counting now, click, click, click, click, click...
One more shot before I take a shot
risky bourbon whiskey
before a whisking roulette wheel
a roll of the dice, a wager, a bet
a warm kiss on sterling steel
I'd call you lady luck
But I know in my gut
Time's up
Velveteen hate machine
which chamber will it pick
a silver bullet guillotine
that's over and done so quick...
