[Intro] The door swings wide, the room leans low Your hand finds mine, and down we go Past the last bright sign above the stairs Into a place that isn't anywhere [Verse 1: Male] Brick under heel, brass in the air A red coat turns, then disappears The floor gives back what the night has owed We take the turn where the river flows [Verse 1: Female] You say, “Keep close,” I say, “Don’t steer” There’s something moving underneath here A pocket opens, the whole room bends We lose the map and follow the friends [Pre-Chorus: Male & Female] Step by step, let the old world fade Count no doors, let the choice be made If the bottom is waiting below We’ll meet it together, slow [Chorus: Male & Female] Walk me down into the unknown Past every place we thought we’d known When the floor drops out, don’t let me go There’s a deeper rhythm down below [Verse 2: Male] The drummer laughs from behind the bar A trumpet paints where the handrails are Your silver shoe catches a flash of blue I lose the room, then I find you [Verse 2: Female] The bassline curls like a question asked A little more truth, a little less mask Your jacket brushes my shoulder blade We enter the dark that the daylight made [Chorus: Male & Female] Walk me down into the unknown Past every place we thought we’d known When the floor drops out, don’t let me go There’s a deeper rhythm down below [Bridge: Female] No sign, no name, no promised end Just your warm palm and the bend after bend [Bridge: Male] No clock, no plan, no borrowed phrase Just a brass note cutting through the haze [Call and Response] [Male] Are you ready for the lower floor? [Female] I’m already through the door. [Male] Do you know what we came here for? [Female] Something we have missed before. [Male] If the room begins to spin? [Female] Let the turning pull us in. [Male] If the morning never shows? [Female] Then we’ll dance where nobody knows. [Instrumental Break] [Chorus: Male & Female] Walk me down into the unknown Past every place we thought we’d known When the floor drops out, don’t let me go There’s a deeper rhythm down below [Outro: Male & Female] Down we go, but we’re not alone Down we go, finding our own tone Keep my hand when the dark winds blow There’s a deeper rhythm down below Down we go, down we go Keep the jazz and funk alive below Down we go, down we go Till the last brass note lets us know
