They Might Be Giants - The Velvet Ape lyrics
[They Might Be Giants - The Velvet Ape lyrics]
The year is 1970 old and the era of softness
Has overtaken the youth
A rivalry between former
Collaborators has begun
This is part of the story
Before that story disappeared
You thought you knew
The soft with all the rock removed
But all you knew
Was just the softness Titan approved
One two three four
The Velvet Ape declares war
One two three five
Please prepare to be taken alive
So soft the wrath of my pillow attack so soft
Stand back from the wrath of
My pillow attack stand back
Who dares to hold
The violet cape of The Velvet Ape?
Soft and the drape is languorous
Behold the drape
One two three four
Titan’s sound has covered the ground
One two three five
The Velvet Ape provides your escape
So soft the wrath of my pillow attack so soft
Close up is the lens on
The primate attack close up
Has overtaken the youth
A rivalry between former
Collaborators has begun
This is part of the story
Before that story disappeared
You thought you knew
The soft with all the rock removed
But all you knew
Was just the softness Titan approved
One two three four
The Velvet Ape declares war
One two three five
Please prepare to be taken alive
So soft the wrath of my pillow attack so soft
Stand back from the wrath of
My pillow attack stand back
Who dares to hold
The violet cape of The Velvet Ape?
Soft and the drape is languorous
Behold the drape
One two three four
Titan’s sound has covered the ground
One two three five
The Velvet Ape provides your escape
So soft the wrath of my pillow attack so soft
Close up is the lens on
The primate attack close up
