Florence + the Machine
Delilah (Demo)
[Verse 1]
Drifting through the halls with the sunrise
Holding on for your call
Climbing up the walls for that flashing light
That I can never let go
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
Holding on for your call
I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight

[Verse 2]
Now the Sun is up and I'm going blind
Holding on for your call
Another drink just to pass the time
I can never say no
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
Holding on for your call
And I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight

[Refrain]
Now I'm dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
Holding on for your call
A different kind of danger in the daylight
I can never let go
Took anything to cut you, I can find
Holding on for your call
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
But can't you let me know?
[Pre-Chorus]
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around

[Chorus]
It's a different kind of danger
Too fast for freedom
And the bells are ringing out
Sometimes it all falls down
And I'm calling for my mother
These chains never leave me
As I pull the pillars down
I keep dragging them around
It's a different kind of danger
Too fast for freedom
And my feet are spinning around
Sometimes it all falls down
Never knew I was a dancer
These chains never leave me
'Til Delilah showed me how
I keep dragging them around

[Verse 3]
Now it's one more boy and it's one more lie
Holding onto your call
Taking the pills just to pass the time
I can never say no
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
[Refrain]
Now I'm dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
Holding on for your call
A different kind of danger in the daylight
I can never let go
Took anything to cut you, I can find
Holding on for your call
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
But can't you let me know?

[Interlude]
I'm strung up, I'm strung out for your love
Hanging and hung up, it's so rough
I'm wrung and ringing out
Why can't you let me know?
I'm strung up, I'm strung out for your love
Hanging and hung up, it's so rough
I'm wrung and ringing out
Why can't you let me know?

[Chorus]
It's a different kind of danger
Too fast for freedom
And the bells are ringing out
Sometimes it all falls down
And I'm calling for my mother
These chains never leave me
As I pull the pillars down
I keep dragging them around
It's a different kind of danger
Too fast for freedom
And my feet are spinning around
Sometimes it all falls down
Never knew I was a dancer
These chains never leave me
'Til Delilah showed me how
I keep dragging them around
[Refrain]
Now I'm dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
Too fast for freedom
Holding on for your call
A different kind of danger in the daylight
Too fast for freedom
I can never let go
Took anything to cut you, I can find
Too fast for freedom
Holding on for your call
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
Too fast for freedom
But can't you let me know?

[Outro]
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around
Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around
