Berlin - "Pink and Velvet"

[Dammn Baby]

This is a completely forgotten track from their Count Three and Pray album. It's an incredible song about heroin addiction, and one of the best songs on the LP (and one of Berlin's very best, IMHO).

You can listen to it here (it's not on YouTube):

No more lines tonight
So you want just a loving touch
Hold on to me and you won't hurt so much
I want you to be free
But I can't do it all

I'll wear
Pink and velvet for you
I'll wear tonight
Pink and velvet for you

Lost the only love I knew
Hearing death released you
I need someone to talk to
Who can help at all

I wear tonight
Pink and velvet for you
Where is my shining knight
Pink and velvet for you

No more lines tonight
So I will use my loving touch
I give nothing for free
So it won't hurt so much
The needle was our life, our hope
Our trust
Turning into dust

I wear tonight
Pink and velvet for you
Are you my shining knight
Pink and velvet for you
