Don't Leave a Diva - Lyrics - Velvet Chain

Velvet Chain is a Los Angeles based band who play a mixture of trip-hop, rock, and pop, with a jazz funk flavor. Velvet Chain was formed in the mid-1990s by Jeff Stacy and Erika Amato, the creative core of the band. They found mainstream attention after they appeared on an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and later had a song included in the show's soundtrack. Their music has also been used on other TV shows, including HBO's Sex and the City, MTV's Road Rules, and ABC's Big Shots.

(chorus) He emerged from his office on an f note Portable phone still in hand She had been waiting in the lobby a lot lately And waiting for never a diva's occupation He moved, motioning to quiet her aria But she took advantage of his cellular audience And increased her volume The spring issue falling to the floor as she rose With higher notes ohhing from her lipstick-pressed lips She turned towards the stairway An ascension was occuring His eyes followed her shadow, eclipse-like As it passed across the room...
