[Intro — whispered / intimate] Come a little closer Don't ask where we're going Leave the door behind you Let the rhythm do the knowing [Verse 1] There's a spark beneath the floorboards There's a shadow in the light And the room is getting smaller As the walls begin to dance tonight I can hear the city breathing Through the wires in the street Every heartbeat out of rhythm Finds its way beneath my feet [Pre-Chorus] Round and round The world turns upside down Don't you hear it calling? Don't you feel it now? [Chorus] Take me where the strange things grow Where I don't have to know Take my hand and lose the ground Turn me upside down Take me where the strange things grow Where the wild things overflow If we're going to disappear Let the music take us there [Post-Chorus — chopped / layered] Take me, take me Take me there Lose the ground Lose the ground Lose the— [Instrumental / psytrance drop] [Verse 2] There's a trumpet in the darkness And a voice behind the wall Something laughs inside the rhythm Like it knows me after all Every color tastes like thunder Every silence starts to glow I was looking for an answer Now I don't want one anymore [Pre-Chorus] Round and round The world turns upside down Don't you hear it calling?
