Think of London, a small city
It's dark, dark in the daytime
The people sleep, sleep in the daytime
If they want to, if they want to
CHORUS
I'm checking them out
I'm checking them out
I got it figured out
I got it figured out
There's good points and bad points
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in.
There are a lot of rich people in Birmingham
A lot of ghosts in a lot of houses
Look over there!...A dry ice factory
A good place to get some thinking done
Down el Paso way things get pretty spread out
People got no idea where in the world they are
They go up north and come back south
Still got no idea where in the world they are.
Did I forget to mention, to mention Memphis
Home of Elvis and the ancient greeks
Do I smell? I smell home cooking
It's only the river, it's only the river.Blue velvet woh-woh
She wore blue velvet (woh woh)
Bluer than velvet was the night (woh woh woh)
Softer than satin was the light
from the stars
She wore blue velvet (woh woh)
Bluer than velvet were her eyes (woh woh woh)
Warmer than May her tender sighs
love was ours
Ours a love i held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left gone was the glow of
Blue velvet (woh woh)
But in my heart there'll always be
precious and warm a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears
She wore blue velvet (woh woh)
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm a memory through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through my tears
