The Rhythm Passed Away

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh

Verse 1

The brass went quiet on a humid night

Trumpet man packed his horn and his pride

Said the beat had slipped beneath the river

Left a hollow where the second line shivered

Pre-Chorus

But we clicked our heels on the cracked sidewalk

And somebody laughed like a church bell talked

Chorus

Now the witches walk in Winston-Salem

Broomsticks ticking on the cobblestone rhythm

Magic dancing where the traffic light glows

The True Third Eyes found a brand new home

Hook

Hey now

Hey now

Hey now

Verse 2

My grandfather hummed a Congo prayer

Percussion rolling through the Georgia air

Gregorian echo under chapel stone

Mixed with the soul that we carried alone

Pre-Chorus

So we clapped our hands till the windows shook

Found a holy sound in an old town nook

Chorus

Now the witches walk in Winston-Salem

Broomsticks ticking on the cobblestone rhythm

Magic dancing where the traffic light glows

The True Third Eyes found a brand new home

Bridge

The rhythm passed away they said

But a heartbeat never truly dies

It just changes where it beds

And learns a brand new lullaby

Lullaby

Lullaby

Chorus

Now the witches walk in Winston-Salem

Broomsticks ticking on the cobblestone rhythm

Magic dancing where the traffic light glows

The True Third Eyes found a brand new home

Hook

Hey now

Hey now

Hey now
