Under the lanterna, we move slow (version 2)

Verse 1

Paraffin flame behind dirty glass

Yellow circle on the yard grass

Your hand finds my wrist in the dark

Step into the circle, make a mark

Low log rolling through the floor

Nobody talking anymore

Bare feet shifting on the stone

Two shadows melting into one

Pre-Chorus

Feel the swing, feel the sway

Leave the words for another day

Let it pull, let it hold

Turn the red earth into gold

Chorus

Under the lanterna, we move slow

Follow the circle down low

No need to speak when the bassline knows

Under the lanterna, we let go

Verse 2

Sweat cool against your shoulder blade

Watch the pattern that the wire made

Ribs keeping time with the heavy sound

Heels deep in the packed-down ground

Kerosene burning through the air

Night breeze tangling in your hair

You lean your weight against my chest

Let the rolling rhythm do the rest

Pre-Chorus

Feel the swing, feel the sway

Leave the words for another day

Let it pull, let it hold

Turn the red earth into gold

Chorus

Under the lanterna, we move slow

Follow the circle down low

No need to speak when the bassline knows

Under the lanterna, we let go

Bridge

Glass gets warm in the midnight chill

World outside is standing still

Just the amber ring upon our skin

Where you end and I begin

Chorus

Under the lanterna, we move slow

Follow the circle down low

No need to speak when the bassline knows

Under the lanterna, we let go
