Ornate Circles

Intro

(La la la)

(La la la la la)

Chorus

Spinning in circles for a stranger

Drawing red circles in the hall

Waiting for a bell to chime

Running out of time

Verse 1

Silver knives

Tucked inside her lace and silk

The queen drinks vinegar and cold goat milk

Her pale face frozen like a statue

Clawing at the satin drapes

Pre-Chorus

She forgets the names

She forgets the games

She forgets the flames

Chorus

Spinning in circles for a stranger

Drawing red circles in the hall

Waiting for a bell to chime

Running out of time

Post-Chorus

Ooh

Round and round

Round and round

Verse 2

Watch the windows

Locked with iron bolts and rusty chains

Down in the kitchen the servant girl complains

Birds fly south through the cellar

Darker than the wine

Pre-Chorus

He forgets the cost

He forgets the frost

He forgets the lost

Chorus

Spinning in circles for a stranger

Drawing red circles in the hall

Waiting for a bell to chime

Running out of time

Bridge

Cut the wire

Feed the fire

High on the wire

Higher and higher

Watching the dancers stumble

Chorus

Spinning in circles for a stranger

Drawing red circles in the hall

Waiting for a bell to chime

Running out of time
