The Shamen - Velvet Box lyrics

No, don't let this heart beat slow I'll run to your house, I'll kiss your door Dreams, there are dreams on the screen today, Gone are the screams, they've taken them all away. Truth is the date on the page today, What's left to learn now fiction is all the rage? By the dim light of a candle, I see your picture it's hung on the wall There's a strange face at the window You're not the girl that you were You keep your heart in a velvet box In a room within a house without a door When I call I will find it locked With a key you threw away forevermore Only this heart beats slow Words, only thoughts that your lips have shaped Sold to the world, a language I've learned to hate Wait, shall we wait till the sands run out Time, time will tell, that's something I'm sure about By the dim light of a candle I see your picture it's hung on the wall There's a strange face at the window You're not the girl that you were You keep your heart in a velvet box In a room within a house without a door When I call I will find it locked With a key you threw away forevermore You keep your heart in a velvet box In a room within a house without a door When I call I will find it locked With a key you threw away forevermore Only this heart beats slow No, don't let this heart beat slow I'll run to your house, I'll kiss your door
