Hold my waist in the lantern vertigo

Verse 1

Red paper swinging from the iron wire

Warm smoke rising from the paraffin fire

Your bare heels turning on the paving stone

Bass rolls under where the skin meets bone

Pre-Chorus

The yard starts leaning when you pull me near

No words spoken, only what we hear

Can you feel the circle begin to sway

Can you feel the ground falling away

Chorus

Round and round where the yellow shadows glow

Hold my waist in the lantern vertigo

Earth keeps spinning and the lights hang low

Hold my waist in the lantern vertigo

Verse 2

Beads of water on your collarbone

Two shadows blending into one alone

Tin cups rattling on the wooden crate

Drums don't hurry when the hour gets late

Pre-Chorus

The yard starts leaning when you pull me near

No words spoken, only what we hear

Can you feel the circle begin to sway

Can you feel the ground falling away

Chorus

Round and round where the yellow shadows glow

Hold my waist in the lantern vertigo

Earth keeps spinning and the lights hang low

Hold my waist in the lantern vertigo

Bridge

Close your eyes, let the fences slide

Nothing to follow, nowhere to hide

Just your chest against my chest

Let the spinning do the rest

Chorus

Round and round where the yellow shadows glow

Hold my waist in the lantern vertigo

Earth keeps spinning and the lights hang low

Hold my waist in the lantern vertigo
