Undertow at Last Orders (version 2)

Verse

Bell goes twice, barman's calling time

Coats still down, nobody's in line

Ice half gone, glass sweats on the rail

Clock says stop but the low end won't fail

Shutter's halfway down the door

Kick keeps pulling us back to the floor

Last call sign, glowing red and blue

Feet don't listen, they know what to do

Pre-Chorus

Who's gonna tell the bassline no?

Who's got a curfew the drums don't know?

Why does the room breathe slower now?

Why do we stay when they say go now?

Chorus

Undertow at last orders, pulling me back in

Lights half up but we start again

Can't hear the bell over skin on skin

Undertow at last orders, take me under, take me in

Verse

Barmaid's counting, coats on chairs

Somebody's shoes left on the stairs

Half-cut sunrise leaking through blinds

We keep dancing, we lose the time

Hand on my waist, hand on the rail

Strobe still catching the end of the tale

They dim the lights but we don't split

Body already back on it

Pre-Chorus

Who's gonna tell the bassline no?

Who's got a curfew the drums don't know?

Why does the room breathe slower now?

Why do we stay when they say go now?

Chorus

Undertow at last orders, pulling me back in

Lights half up but we start again

Can't hear the bell over skin on skin

Undertow at last orders, take me under, take me in

Bridge

Not leaving, not leaving, not yet, not yet

One more bassline, one more sweat

Doorman's shouting, we don't hear

Floor's still holding, we're still here

Not leaving, not leaving, one more round

Pull us under, keep us bound

Chorus

Undertow at last orders, pulling me back in

Lights half up but we start again

Can't hear the bell over skin on skin

Undertow at last orders, take me under, take me in
