Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I parked by the red velvet motel
Your name on the ice machine
The clerk had a face like rain
And a key that fit my dream

I knocked on room thirteen
You said, “Come in, come in”
There was a fan turning slow
And a violin under the skin

[Pre-Chorus]
The carpet knew my steps
The walls kept leaning in
You smiled with a paper mouth
And the whole night turned to tin

[Chorus]
Red velvet motel
Don’t tell me where you’ve been
Red velvet motel
I can hear you under my skin
Red velvet motel
(come back, come back)
Red velvet motel
I know that door opens again

[Verse 2]
A phone kept ringing once
Then it drowned in the tub
Your lipstick on the glass
Like a warning, like a love

There was smoke in the lamp shade
A blue bruise on the wall
You said, “Everybody leaves”
But I stayed through it all

[Pre-Chorus]
The ceiling started breathing
The mirror split in two
You laughed like a broken radio
And I was made of glue

[Chorus]
Red velvet motel
Don’t tell me where you’ve been
Red velvet motel
I can hear you under my skin
Red velvet motel
(come back, come back)
Red velvet motel
I know that door opens again

[Bridge]
In the back lot, the night wore fur
And the moon had a wired stare
You touched my wrist and vanished fast
But your perfume stayed in the air

[Final Chorus]
Red velvet motel
Don’t tell me where you’ve been
Red velvet motel
I can hear you under my skin
Red velvet motel
(come back, come back)
Red velvet motel
I know that door opens again
