Silver River Spiral

Verse 1
The streetlights wobble in the humid air
A yellow halo hanging everywhere
You take my fingers as the pavement bends
A dizzy circle where the sidewalk ends
The asphalt melts beneath our heavy shoes
A purple haze across the avenues

Chorus
Down by the silver river spinning slow
Where all the neon shadows overflow
My head is turning like a painted wheel
I cannot tell you what is dream or real
Down by the silver river spinning slow
We let the vertigo take full control

Verse 2
A distant siren melts into a drone
The city turns to liquid and to stone
You whisper secrets that I almost catch
A spark of sulfur from a wooden match
The balcony is drifting out to sea
And every second pulls you close to me

Chorus
Down by the silver river spinning slow
Where all the neon shadows overflow
My head is turning like a painted wheel
I cannot tell you what is dream or real
Down by the silver river spinning slow
We let the vertigo take full control

Bridge
Round and round until the skyline tilts
A paper castle on uneven stilts
The stars are dripping through the heavy trees
Down on our knees, down on our knees

Chorus
Down by the silver river spinning slow
Where all the neon shadows overflow
My head is turning like a painted wheel
I cannot tell you what is dream or real
Down by the silver river spinning slow
We let the vertigo take full control
