Velvet Undertow

Move with the low light

Heat in the floor tonight

Black satin rhythm on a worn-out street

I got fire in my step and smoke in my teeth

You keep circlin' close like a dare in the dark

Hands on the trigger,

eyes on the spark We don't talk sweet,

we lean and slide Let the kick drum pull what we try

to hide Take one breath,

let the room get thin Feel that turn when the bass rolls

in No looking back when the ceiling bends

We go deeper when the pressure sends Turn me loose in

the midnight heat

Dirty love on

a steady beat Round and round till the walls give in

We got soul under steel and skin

Lift it up, let the whole room move

Dark in the heart

but we dance in groove

Your smile cuts clean like a chrome-edged line

I taste the danger and I call it mine Feet keep talking

where the words fall short Bodies make a language in a minor

chord We got no map,

just a lean and sway Chasing that burn till the break of

day Slow it down,

let it drip like gold Stay right here,

never do what we're told (ooh) (ahhh) Hit that floor and roll

with me Burn that doubt and set it free Round and round

in gravity

You and I in the machine

Still we move

when the lights go thin Still that fire

under skin Take my hand,

let the night stay long Fade in the groove where we both

belong
