Velvet Panic

[Verse 1]
I floated in late
With my mascara intact
You looked at my face
Then you looked right back

I said, "Darling, relax"
With a tiny little grin
You blinked at my rings
Like, "Where do I begin?"

My perfume says maybe
My shoes say goodbye
I came with a fan
And a very long sigh

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don't get shy
I'm just this way
A little too much
In the prettiest frame

I purr, I pout
I twirl, I bite
If I crash your plans
I'll do it polite

[Chorus]
I'm a velvet panic
(velvet panic)
Sweet then manic
(sweet then manic)
Kiss me, darling
Then run for your life

I'm a velvet panic
(velvet panic)
Loud and tragic
(loud and tragic)
Smile at the mess
And I make it shine

[Verse 2]
I hugged my own drama
And wore it like lace
Then gasped at the mirror
Like, "That is a face"

I laugh at the ceiling
I bless my own name
I order my chaos
To come back the same

You said I was extra
I said, "Baby, yes"
I live for the moment
I ruin the rest

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don't get shy
I'm just this way
A little too much
In the prettiest frame

I purr, I pout
I twirl, I bite
If I crash your plans
I'll do it polite

[Chorus]
I'm a velvet panic
(velvet panic)
Sweet then manic
(sweet then manic)
Kiss me, darling
Then run for your life

I'm a velvet panic
(velvet panic)
Loud and tragic
(loud and tragic)
Smile at the mess
And I make it shine

[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Soft little laugh
Then a thunderclap
I can turn a "maybe"
Into a heart attack

Come closer, honey
I won't behave
I'll bat my lashes
And open the cage

[Final Chorus]
I'm a velvet panic
(velvet panic)
Sweet then manic
(sweet then manic)
Kiss me, darling
Then run for your life

I'm a velvet panic
(velvet panic)
Loud and tragic
(loud and tragic)
Smile at the mess
And I make it shine

I'm a velvet panic
(velvet panic)
Watch me dance through
Your little decline
