lyrics
Swing, baby, swing.
You’re a bulb on a wire
Alone and apart
in the heart of the crowd
The chaos here it takes you to countries
That just get hotter.
And laugh, baby, laugh,
til your face feels the smile
cross people off the list
when you’re tired
turn off the phone
and wait for the calls
I want you to
Want you to
Learn how to want
Oh, yeah, you come and you go
But it don’t mean a thing
Hit the bars where we’re all
Made of stars
Yeah, we’re all happy friends
I want you to want
I want you to want
I just want you to want
You’re a bulb on a wire
Alone and apart
in the heart of the crowd
The chaos here it takes you to countries
That just get hotter.
And laugh, baby, laugh,
til your face feels the smile
cross people off the list
when you’re tired
turn off the phone
and wait for the calls
I want you to
Want you to
Learn how to want
Oh, yeah, you come and you go
But it don’t mean a thing
Hit the bars where we’re all
Made of stars
Yeah, we’re all happy friends
I want you to want
I want you to want
I just want you to want

Hypnos / Flame
by CHELSEA WOLFEsupported by 5 fans who also own “Swing”
Eerie, haunting, melancholic and unbelievably sexy. Chelsea Wolfe has always been a very versatile songwriter, from gothic doom to noise, to acoustic balads and everything inbetween.

Unknown Rooms: A Collection Of Acoustic Songs
by CHELSEA WOLFEsupported by 4 fans who also own “Swing”
The first time I listened to 'Pain is beauty', I was instantly enamored of Chelsea Wolfe's unique sound . It is dark and raw but simultaneously sensual. On this acoustic album there is an added fragility which I find enchanting.
