Velvet Goldmine lyrics

I think I'd prefer

If you didn't know anything special about me

Yes, I think it's best

Given my high propensity for making poetry

Out of every shooting star

So, please, don't fall in love

I'm not the boy you should be plucking off petals for

Or telling secrets about

Believe me, I really want to feel it

This time, I really thought I could

Just when I started to feel happy again

That's when my heart went all to pieces my friend

'Cause you never know what beauty you'll find

Down the Velvet Goldmine

So, then let it snow

Let there be tinsel all trimming the boulevard

And all those baggage claims

I'll be at the movies

I'll have my own row at the Cinerama Dome

Handin' out miracles, givin' out angels wings

To every mother's child who knows

Whenever you're starting to feel happy again

That's when your heart goes all to pieces, my friend

'Cause who ever knows what beauty you'll find

Down the Velvet Goldmine

Maybe I'm starting to feel happy again

Maybe these arms won't know how

To let go of him

And are we the wise ones gathered

Confessing our fears

Searching the stars within us

That others might hear?

There could be angels waiting to bring us the news

Of one little boy in love with the world left to choose

Can we leave all this heartache behind

In the Velvet Goldmine?
