MmCut the lights, let me show you what a thousand looks like
VERSE
I don't work the room, the room works for meI hang up here where the smoke runs thinOne velvet motor, one slow rotationAnd every stray light comes home to my skinNo hurry in me, I was made for the ceilingYou'll look up eventually, they all do
PRE-CHORUS
Dim it down, dim it all the way downGive me one beam and your undivided midnightHere it comes, honey, hold your breath
CHORUS
When I turn, the whole room turns with meEvery wall in sequins, every face in goldI don't dance, I'm the reason you're dancingOne look up, baby, you're already sold
POST-CHORUS
Thousand on the ceiling, thousand on the floorGive me one, I'll give you back a thousand more(thousand, thousand)Give me one, I'll give you back a thousand more
VERSE
A thousand coins buys one slow revolutionThe screen goes quiet, then the whole place roarsKings and busboys pay the same admissionA hundred little midnights, all of them yoursI've been the center since the night they hung meGravity is just a girl who never chases
PRE-CHORUS
Dim it down, dim it all the way downGive me one beam and your undivided midnightHere it comes, honey, hold your breath
CHORUS
When I turn, the whole room turns with meEvery wall in sequins, every face in goldI don't dance, I'm the reason you're dancingOne look up, baby, you're already sold
POST-CHORUS
Thousand on the ceiling, thousand on the floorGive me one, I'll give you back a thousand more(thousand, thousand)Give me one, I'll give you back a thousand more
BREAKDOWN
Easy now, just the strings and the low endA thousand little windows, every single one is youNone of this shine was ever mine, but neither was the darkNow bring the lights back, honey, I've got a room to run
CHORUS
When I turn, the whole room turns with meEvery wall in sequins, every face in goldI don't dance, I'm the reason you're dancingOne look up, baby, you're already sold
POST-CHORUS
Thousand on the ceiling, thousand on the floorGive me one, I'll give you back a thousand more(thousand, thousand)Give me one, I'll give you back a thousand more
OUTRO
Lights down, motor slowI don't dance, I'm the reason you're dancingThousand on the ceiling, thousand on the floorMm, you're already sold
