The Spark That The World Knows

Lyrics

[Intro] The velvet rope parts, the room holds its breath A silver coin turns on the edge of the desk [Verse 1] You arrive in a midnight-blue coat With a slow little smile and a note The band hits one and the floorboards reply Every glass in the room catches fire [Pre-Chorus] You say, “Don’t ask what the daylight knows” Then you tap twice on the old piano One step closer, the whole room turns One look from you and the curtains burn [Chorus] Make the whole room turn around Let the good floor shake the ground With a little sweet trouble and a heart of gold You’ve got a brand-new story to tell Make the whole room come alive Put a little thunder in the Friday night When you move, every rule lets go You’re the spark that the whole world knows [Verse 2] There’s a blue note caught in your sleeve And a red rose you refuse to leave You trade one laugh for a secret grin Now the brass section’s pulling us in [Pre-Chorus] You say, “Don’t ask what the daylight knows” Then you tap twice on the old piano One step closer, the whole room turns One look from you and the curtains burn [Chorus] Make the whole room turn around Let the good floor shake the ground With a little sweet trouble and a heart of gold You’ve got a brand-new story to tell Make the whole room come alive Put a little thunder in the Friday night When you move, every rule lets go You’re the spark that the whole world knows [Bridge] Hold that breath, count to four Hear the heels cross the marble floor No disguise can hide the truth I was looking for the door—you moved Then the whole band breaks the spell And the room rings like a bell [Final Chorus] Make the whole room turn around Let the good floor shake the ground With a little sweet trouble and a heart of gold You’ve got a brand-new story to tell Make the whole room come alive Put a little thunder in the Friday night When you move, every rule lets go You’re the spark that the whole world knows [Outro] One last look, then the doors swing wide That little secret walks outside
