Gentle Roar

I hear the train's coming in the echo in the tunnel
Like a gentle roar, a roar of the underground
Is it what it sounds like
The innocent dark and the sweet talk of the storm
And I was afraid of you but now I've gotten used to you
Now you're ringing a feel in my body, what I didn't know before
Is it the two laugh lines in our face that I follow with my fingers?
Did she ever laugh that much? Did she ever laugh that much?
Born on a friday, keys on the table, oh it's real danger
Born on a friday (make a cross on your doorstep)
Keys on the table (make a cross on your doorstep)
Oh it's real danger (danger)
And I was told to look away when I saw a raven
And to spit three times when a cat crossed the street
(I was told to be afraid of) so many things
Now I'm waking the witch and I move like a cat and if
I dare to look her in the eye
Would she comfort me? Would she comfort me?
Born on a friday (make a cross on your doorstep)
Keys on the table, oh it's real danger
Born on a friday (make a cross on your doorstep)
Keys on the table (make a cross on your doorstep)
Oh it's real danger (danger danger danger)
Born on a friday (make a cross on your doorstep)
Keys on the table (make a cross on your doorstep)
Born on a friday (make a cross on your doorstep)
Keys on the table (make a cross on your doorstep)
I hear the train's coming in the echo in the tunnel
Like a gentle roar, a roar of the underground
I hear the train's coming in the echo in the tunnel
Like a gentle roar, a roar of the underground
Is it what it sounds like
The innocent dark and the sweet talk of the storm
Is it what it sounds like
The innocent dark and the sweet talk of the storm
