Devil in Velvet

Dark 70s heavy rock with teeth

Blues-rock drive, psychedelic tension, commanding female vocal.

Lyrics-

[Verse 1]

Hot summer night, thunder in the air

Saw him in the corner with that long dark hair

Eyes like whiskey, smile like sin

He said, “Come here, baby, let the games begin”

My mama warned me ’bout the dangerous kind

But I was young and hungry for what I’d find

He took my hand, led me to his lair

Said, “I’ll show you heaven if you dare”

[Pre-Chorus]

He said, “Try to resist me, try to walk away

But you’ll be mine before the break of day”

[Chorus]

He’s the devil in velvet!

And he’s calling my name!

He’s the devil in velvet!

Setting my body aflame!

Try to understand, try to understand!

Try, try, try to understand!

He’s got me in his hands!

Yeah, he’s the devil in velvet, baby!!

[Verse 2]

Midnight came, we were dancing slow

His touch was fire, burning head to toe

He whispered secrets that I’d never tell

Said, “Girl, I’ll take you straight to hell”

The music played from some ancient time

Every beat was pulling me across that line

My friends were calling, saying, “Come back home”

But I was lost and didn’t want to be found

[Pre-Chorus]

He said, “Try to resist me, try to turn away!

But baby, you’ll be begging me to stay!”

[Chorus]

He’s the devil in velvet!

And he’s calling my name!

He’s the devil in velvet!

Setting my body aflame!

Try to understand, try to understand!

Try, try, try to understand!

He’s got me in his hands!

Yeah, he’s the devil in velvet!

[Bridge]

Mama cried on the telephone

“Baby, please, it’s time to come back home”

But I can’t leave him, can’t break this spell

He’s my heaven, he’s my hell

And I don’t want to be saved!!

[Final Chorus]

He’s the devil in velvet!

And he’s calling my name!

He’s the devil in velvet!

Setting my body aflame!

Try to understand! Try to understand!

He’s got me in his hands!

He’s the devil in velvet!

Yeah, the devil in velvet!

He’s got the magic touch!

[Outro]

Devil in velvet, baby!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

He’s got me!

Ohhhh!
