Our Nation (song)

Lyrics

[Intro]
V-v-velvet, v-v-velvet
Lift it up, lift it up
[Verse 1]
Rain on the pavement, heels in my hand
Counting the minutes like grains of sand
Bouncer looks through me like I’m made of glass
But I’ve got a face that they won’t let pass
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name like you’ve heard it before
Say my name and then open the door
[Chorus]
V-v-velvet rope, let me in tonight
I was born to stand in the strobe light
V-v-velvet rope, you can’t hold me back
Gold on my lips and my dress is black
I’m on the list now, I’m on the list
Kiss the rope goodbye, blow it a kiss
V-v-velvet rope
[Verse 2]
Mirror ball spinning, it’s spinning for me
Everyone’s wondering who I could be
Borrowed the diamonds, I borrowed the shoes
But the attitude’s mine and it’s not up for use
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name like you’ve heard it before
Say my name and then open the door
[Chorus]
V-v-velvet rope, let me in tonight
I was born to stand in the strobe light
V-v-velvet rope, you can’t hold me back
Gold on my lips and my dress is black
I’m on the list now, I’m on the list
Kiss the rope goodbye, blow it a kiss
V-v-velvet rope
[Bridge]
Yesterday I was out in the cold
Now I’m the story that’s waiting to be told
Don’t need a ticket, don’t need a key
The rope was never made for me
[Final Chorus]
V-v-velvet rope, let me in tonight
I was born to stand in the strobe light
V-v-velvet rope, you can’t hold me back
Gold on my lips and my dress is black
I’m on the list now, I’m on the list
Kiss the rope goodbye, blow it a kiss
V-v-velvet rope
[Outro]
Lift it up, lift it up
V-v-velvet
