A Velvet Covered Brick (will Lay You Out) Lyrics - Singles - Levi Smith

My old drummer Josh gettin' married same month as the new one 

Scared me just a bit, but it was no surprise 

Found and lost his hand on a woman heart 

Now he doin' time without no pardon 

Huddle in men, they're dropping like flies! 

Oh, I mean rice 

A velvet covered brick will knock you down, just the same 

A velvet covered brick will lay you out 

In a sense, I'm innocent 

But under my tongue a perfume scent just turned me in 

And turned me into salt 

Well, I'm torn to pieces in the dark 

With my head beatin' down my heart 

Tell him, "Man, this is all your fault!" 

A velvet covered brick will knock you down, just the same 

A velvet covered brick will lay you out 

A velvet covered brick will knock you down, just the same 

A velvet covered brick will lay you out 

Well, I could run 

But not far enough 

'Cause love's gonna' trip me if I try 

It's gonna' break your heart 

Or break my routine 

Soft to the touch, 

But a velvet covered brick will knock you down, just the same 

A velvet covered brick will lay you out 

A velvet covered brick will knock you down, just the same 

A velvet covered brick will lay you out
