Velvet Door Swing

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found the velvet door Down a side-street seam The man with the gold tooth grin Said, "You know the dream" My shoes hit the floorboards Like a tap-dance prayer The room smelled sweet as trouble And I was already there [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the room went hush Then it started to sway That little house band Pulled my doubts away [Chorus] Swing, swing, all night (Spin me round) Swing, swing, all night (Big brass sound) Raise that glass, don’t wait We came to feel right Swing, swing, all night (all night) [Verse 2] A red dress cut me a glance From the corner seat Her laugh hit the back wall And came back sweet Dice in the ashtray Cards in the sleeve Everybody in the room Had a reason to believe [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the room went hot Like a match on a chain When that trumpet called out Nobody stayed the same [Chorus] Swing, swing, all night (Spin me round) Swing, swing, all night (Big brass sound) Raise that glass, don’t wait We came to feel right Swing, swing, all night (all night) [Bridge] When the floor starts moving And the ceiling leans We’re all sharp suits and secrets In a haze of green Hear that saxophone Like a satin blade One more round, one more chance For the mess we made [Final Chorus] Swing, swing, all night (Spin me round) Swing, swing, all night (Big brass sound) Raise that glass, don’t wait We came to feel right Swing, swing, all night (all night) Swing, swing, all night (Spin me round) Swing, swing, all night (Big brass sound) Hide your sorrow, dance Till the whole room sings Swing, swing, all night (all night)
