Velvet Rope
She grew up poor
She grew up ugly
So bad she thought
Only mom would hug me
But then it all changed
She woke up pretty
The boys all noticed
She owned the city
She dreamed of a better life
One filled with love and hope
She wanted the life
Behind that Velvet rope
Pretty soon her life
Was Cristal and coke
All the men were the same
They just wanted a poke
She would wake at noon
She'd hide from the sun
Wondering where she was
And what she had done
She dreamed of a better life
One filled with love and hope
She wanted the life
Behind that Velvet rope
Some of her friends died
And more came unglued
She had lost all track
Of the people she'd screwed
Her mom called one day
To tell her she's thirty
When did it get so strange?
When did it get dirty?
She found that her dream
Isn't what it seems
It's just one big hole
You pay with your soul
She wanted a better life
One filled with love and hope
She dreamed of life
Beyond that Velvet rope
There's gotta be something
Better than the Velvet rope
She grew up ugly
So bad she thought
Only mom would hug me
But then it all changed
She woke up pretty
The boys all noticed
She owned the city
She dreamed of a better life
One filled with love and hope
She wanted the life
Behind that Velvet rope
Pretty soon her life
Was Cristal and coke
All the men were the same
They just wanted a poke
She would wake at noon
She'd hide from the sun
Wondering where she was
And what she had done
She dreamed of a better life
One filled with love and hope
She wanted the life
Behind that Velvet rope
Some of her friends died
And more came unglued
She had lost all track
Of the people she'd screwed
Her mom called one day
To tell her she's thirty
When did it get so strange?
When did it get dirty?
She found that her dream
Isn't what it seems
It's just one big hole
You pay with your soul
She wanted a better life
One filled with love and hope
She dreamed of life
Beyond that Velvet rope
There's gotta be something
Better than the Velvet rope
