The Eddy - St. Vincent

A vortex of sound

Revolving around

Dissolving you down to

The essence

Of secret desires

That midnight inspires

Music will flow

Candles will glow

Sweetest surrender

Pulling you under

The Eddy

The night will imbue

An indigo hue

The horn blowing blue

Through the evening

Lost in a dance

And caught in a trance

Under the sway

Riding the wave

Sweetest surrender

Pulling us under

The Eddy

A spiral staircase

Leading to that place

Deep in the night

Where everybody’s in the zone

And everybody’s tight

Tonight

Everybody’s right

We’ve all learned to hide

What’s burning inside

A yearning denied

Just gets stronger

Here’s where we dare

To strip it all bare

Sit with your truth

Dark corner booth

Keep slipping slow

In the strong undertow of

The Eddy
