[Verse 1] You walk in red scarf, wild grin Spinning in the kitchen bare feet on the floor Cheap wine in a chipped glass, laughing You drag me in the circle I can't say no more [Chorus] Kalinka, Kalinka, turn me like a flame Spin me in your hands ‘til I forget my name Kalinka, Kalinka, dizzy in your sway If this is how I fall don’t you ever look away [Verse 2] Old song on a cracked phone speaker You stomp out the rhythm on my tired shoes Your hair stuck with summer petals You steal one more heartbeat what else can I lose? [Chorus] Kalinka, Kalinka, turn me like a flame Spin me in your hands ‘til I forget my name Kalinka, Kalinka, dizzy in your sway If this is how I fall don’t you ever look away [Bridge] Floorboards shake as the night gets smaller Neighbors pound walls but you laugh, dance harder You shout my name over clatter and clamor I shout it back like a wild old prayer [Chorus] Kalinka, Kalinka, turn me like a flame Spin me in your hands ‘til I forget my name Kalinka, Kalinka, stay ‘til break of day If this is how we burn let us never fade away
