[Intro] [Vinyl crackle, deep cello drone, slow sub-bass] [Verse 1: Solo Male Bass] [Dry, up-front, close-mic] Dust on the needle, spinning in the dark A million lightyears from a single spark I carved my sorrow in the rings of stone Floating in the velvet, heavy and alone [Verse 2: Solo Female] [Velvety, warm 1960s tone, restrained] Cold silver rivers running through the void Tracing the orbits that the stars destroyed I hear you calling from the gravity well A quiet blues inside a hollow shell [Chorus: Male and Female Duet] [Slow aria-like lament, slow acoustic double bass] Oh, let the static wash the sky away No dawn is coming for the castaway Just endless night, and the slow, dark tide Nowhere to run, and nowhere left to hide [Instrumental Break] [Sparse double bass solo, deep cello drone] [Outro: Duet] [Minimalist, sub-bass and vinyl crackle only] [Female] Aaaah... in the dark... [Male] Still spinning... [End]
