You walk the lane in midnight dew
The cobalt tiles are shining blue
A copper bird upon the height
Is humming low in electric light
Spinning round in a velvet haze
Lost inside of the city maze
Copper hum in the salty air
You find a magic waiting there
The drizzle falls on plastic sheets
It washes clean the narrow streets
You watch the needle point the north
While golden sparks are leaping forth
Spinning round in a velvet haze
Lost inside of the city maze
Copper hum in the salty air
You find a magic waiting there
A small cafe with sliding doors
The scent of tea on polished floors
You lean against the brick and lime
And feel the ticking of the time
The wind is cold but the light is gold
A hidden story yet to be told
One silver flash and a sudden beat
Right above the rushing street
The metal sings a steady tone
A secret song for you alone
It turns away from the heavy crowd
While the city hums too loud
Spinning round in a velvet haze
Lost inside of the city maze
Copper hum in the salty air
You find a magic waiting there
You lift your head to the rainy sky
Where the electric cables lie
The copper vane begins to sway
Before the night turns into gray
Spinning round in a velvet haze
Lost inside of the city maze
Copper hum in the salty air
You find a magic waiting there
Just a copper hum in the air.
Spinning round, spinning round.
