The Gentle Roar Songtext
von Niki and the Dove

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
