This Velvet Glove

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1. Close to my skin 
   I’m falling in 
   Someone who’s been 
 
   Sittin’ by the phone 
   I’m left alone 
   In another zone 
   
   John says to live above hell 
   My will is well 
   No one is waiting 
   For me to fail 
   My will could sail yeah 
   
   It’s such a waste to be wasted 
   In the first place 
   I want to taste the taste of 
   Being face to face with common grace 
   To meditate on the warmest dream 
   And when I walk alone I listen 
   To our secret theme 
   
R: Your solar eyes are like 
   Nothing I have ever seen 
   Somebody close 
   That can see right through 
   I’d take a fall and you know 
   That I’d do anything 
   I will for you 
   
2. Sailin’ for the sun 
   ’Cause There is one 
   Knows where I’m from 
   
   I care for you 
   I really do I really do 
   
   Come closer now 
   So you can lie 
   Right by my side 
   
   Sit alone in the sun 
   I wrote a letter to you 
   Getting over myself 
R: (2x)
   
3. Close to my skin 
   Someone who’s been 
   I’m a falling in 
   
   Disasters are 
   Just another star 
   Falling in my yard 
   
   John says to live above hell 
   My will is well
   Long to be with 
   Someone to tell 
   I love your smell
