[Verse 1] I roll in town at dusk In a wagon full of glass Polished boots, silver cane And a smile that never lasts I set my little lamps In a velvet ring of smoke Say, “Come close, take a seat I’ve got one hell of a joke” I read the room so slow Like I’m brushing back a veil I know the weak spots first I know how to make them fail [Pre-Chorus] Now your eyes are hanging low Now you’re leaning on my word Now the whole wide world gets soft And every warning goes unheard [Chorus] Move, move in the coil Let it spin you round Move, move in the coil Hear that hollow sound I say groove, groove, go on Let the dark tune in Move, move in the coil And let the dream begin [Verse 2] I travel light, my friend Just a trunk and a little bell A deck of shining cards And a pocket full of spell I’m the man with the stare That can smooth a stormy mind I can pluck your fear apart And leave the shell behind Women hold their breath Men forget their own names Then they wake with smoke on their brains All the rest assume they're all insane [Pre-Chorus] Now your eyelids start to drop Now my voice gets in the bone Now you nod like you agree To leave your shadows all alone [Chorus] Move, move in the coil Let it spin you round Move, move in the coil Hear that hollow sound I say groove, groove, go on Let the dark tune in Move, move in the coil And let the dream begin [Bridge] They walk me to the door With their hands open wide But I never leave the same I take something on the ride A little heat, a little name A little spark behind the eyes By dawn they’re sweet and still With a grin that never lies And if you hear them humming Down the road in single file Don’t ask where they are going Just sleep for a while [Chorus] Move, move in the coil Let it spin you round Move, move in the coil Hear that hollow sound I say groove, groove, go on Let the dark tune in Move, move in the coil And let the dream begin [Outro] I’m your traveling man With the velvet in my hand Move, move in the coil Come under, understand
