Freakwater - Velveteen Matador Lyrics

best watch what's at your door
beware of the plans you've made
just to even out the score
you'll gamble it all away
this sickness has taken you
this addiction to the bet
as if folding would be your undo
like bed sheets to a lit cigarette
and like the velveteen matador
a lonely singer serenades
veronica calls out your name
you know there's a loser in this game
bank it all on a face down card
raise it blind on a double bluff
just so you feel like you're living large
ah, honey am I not enough
and like the velveteen matador
a lonely singer serenades
veronica calls out your name
you know there's a loser in this game
you hold the court
I play the joker
kitty overflows with what was offered
but soon you will be trumped
by what it was all for
best watch what's at your door

best watch what's at your door
beware of the plans you've made
just to even out the score
you'll gamble it all away
this sickness has taken you
this addiction to the bet
as if folding would be your undo
like bed sheets to a lit cigarette
and like the velveteen matador
a lonely singer serenades
veronica calls out your name
you know there's a loser in this game
bank it all on a face down card
raise it blind on a double bluff
just so you feel like you're living large
ah, honey am I not enough
and like the velveteen matador
a lonely singer serenades
veronica calls out your name
you know there's a loser in this game
you hold the court
I play the joker
kitty overflows with what was offered
but soon you will be trumped
by what it was all for
best watch what's at your door
