Alastor

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I heard your grin before your step On the scuffed-up floor Sharp red coat, clean white gloves Knocking at the door You tilt your head, you size me up Like you already knew Every little crack I hide Looks bigger next to you [Pre-Chorus] Say my name like a dare Say it slow, say it sweet You bring the room to heel Then you tap that beat [Chorus] Alastor, Alastor Smile like a warning sign Alastor, Alastor You got that old-time shine (Alastor) You make the shadows dance (Alastor) Then you vanish with a glance [Verse 2] You talk in velvet trouble With a preacher's grin Cards and smoke and perfect lies Spinning where you've been I keep my back to the corner But you pull me near One more joke, one more bow And the whole room cheers [Pre-Chorus] Say my name like a dare Say it slow, say it sweet You bring the room to heel Then you tap that beat [Chorus] Alastor, Alastor Smile like a warning sign Alastor, Alastor You got that old-time shine (Alastor) You make the shadows dance (Alastor) Then you vanish with a glance [Bridge] There’s a crackle in the air When you lean in close Everybody wants a story You sell the ones they chose But I see the knife behind it I see the pretty flame If you call me to the stage now I might call your name [Final Chorus] Alastor, Alastor Smile like a warning sign Alastor, Alastor You got that old-time shine (Alastor) You make the shadows dance (Alastor) Then you vanish with a glance
