Lyrics Marc Almond

Marc Almond

Orpheus in Red Velvet

Orpheus in red velvet

Sing that song again

That song of jealousy and pain

Orpheus in red velvet

Sing that tearful tune

The one that's coloured by the moon

Take me through hell

For I deserve it

Take me through hell

It's for my good

Pain is sweet

However hot you serve it

And hell is no hotter

Than my jealous blood

Orpheus in red velvet

Sing your sweet refrain

My tears are falling like the rain

Orpheus in red velvet

Croon your lullaby

It makes me cry

Sing

Take me through hell

For I deserve it

Take me through hell

It's for my good

Pain is sweet

However hot you serve it

And hell is no hotter

Than my jealous blood

Orpheus in red velvet

Sorrow in your words

The sweetest words I've ever heard

Orpheus in red velvet

Sing of one that once was mine

Heartache sublime

Orpheus in red velvet

Like velvet was my valentine

Sing
