[Verse 1] I saw it start to sway Over blackened sand Tick to the left Then it chose my hand Salt on the floor Ash on my tongue Every little swing Got my name undone You count the circles I count the scars It keeps on moving Under broken stars [Pre-Chorus] Back and forth Back and forth Hear it call me in Left and right Night to night Let the spell begin [Chorus] Pendulum, pendulum Swing me down Pendulum, pendulum Turn me round Pendulum, pendulum I can’t stay still (Swing) (swing) Until it seals the deal [Verse 2] Candles lean low Like they know the truth The chain goes creaking Through the rotten roof I tried to run It followed close A silver eye In a velvet ghost Every beat it takes Takes a little more Pulls my secrets up From the cellar door [Pre-Chorus] Back and forth Back and forth Hear it call me in Left and right Night to night Let the spell begin [Chorus] Pendulum, pendulum Swing me down Pendulum, pendulum Turn me round Pendulum, pendulum I can’t stay still (Swing) (swing) Until it seals the deal [Bridge] If it stops I disappear If it moves I reappear Black chain Silver flame Say my fear Then say my name [Final Chorus] Pendulum, pendulum Swing me down Pendulum, pendulum Turn me round Pendulum, pendulum I can’t stay still (Swing) (swing) Until it seals the deal
