Velvet On The Banister

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came in slow Through the side door Red shoes tapping On the worn floor You stole one glance Then you looked away But I saw that grin Grow twice as wide that way I set my glass down By the brass rail Said, “Keep your cool” But I like your fail [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you’re acting tough But your hands say more You’re leaning in Like you know the score Come a little closer Don’t make me wait I got a sweet little trouble At the edge of the plate [Chorus] Spin me round Don’t let go now Spin me round You know how Velvet on the banister Velvet on the banister I’m in your hands now (yes, I’m in your hands now) [Verse 2] Your cuff links flash When you lift your drink I catch that laugh Before you even think The band cuts sharp And the room leans near You say one word I say, “Come here” My lipstick mark On your napkin edge A little blackbird On a crooked ledge [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you’re acting tough But your eyes give in You’re one small spark From a real good sin Come a little closer Let the floorboards sing I got a whole lot of trouble Wrapped in a ring [Chorus] Spin me round Don’t let go now Spin me round You know how Velvet on the banister Velvet on the banister I’m in your hands now (yes, I’m in your hands now) [Bridge] Tell me your secret I’ll tell you mine We can be reckless For one more line The room gets smaller When you say my name And I like the heat That comes with the game [Chorus] Spin me round Don’t let go now Spin me round You know how Velvet on the banister Velvet on the banister I’m in your hands now (I’m in your hands now)
