Keep your hips where the amber falls

Verse 1

Paraffin burning on a twisted wire

Orange in the dust, putting out the fire

Bare feet shifting on the cooling brick

Log drum heavy and the warm air thick

Pre-Chorus

Feel that timber creak above

Catch the rhythm, catch the shove

Sky goes purple, shadows lean

Right in the space between

Chorus

Lanterna, swing it slow

Lanterna, swing it slow

Keep your hips where the amber falls

Let the bass drum shake the walls

Lanterna, swing it slow

Verse 2

Sweat along your collar, sweet and plain

Clay still drying from the midday rain

Shoulder to shoulder, nobody speaks

Bass rolls easy through the wooden peaks

Pre-Chorus

Feel that timber creak above

Catch the rhythm, catch the shove

Sky goes purple, shadows lean

Right in the space between

Chorus

Lanterna, swing it slow

Lanterna, swing it slow

Keep your hips where the amber falls

Let the bass drum shake the walls

Lanterna, swing it slow

Bridge

No clock ticking by the iron gate

Sun went down, but the heat can wait

Brass chain rocking on the tin roof low

Where your ribs end, let the log drum go

Chorus

Lanterna, swing it slow

Lanterna, swing it slow

Keep your hips where the amber falls

Let the bass drum shake the walls

Lanterna, swing it slow
