[start] [Intro: Congas, shaker percussion, electric piano riff, soft bass groove] Smoke in the corner of a neon room Midnight talking way too soon (Slow ride, slow ride) Rhythm turning like a wheel Something fake but something real [Verse] Heard a whisper from the radio line Said the deal goes down at half past nine Cards on the table, eyes half closed Nobody tells you what nobody knows Taxi rolling through the summer heat Same old faces on the same old street Every story got a missing page Every player trying to leave the stage [Instrumental fill: Electric piano lick with conga accents] [Chorus] Do it again, spin it around Lost in the groove of a dangerous sound Do it again, nobody knows Where the wheel of the night time goes Do it again, drift in the haze Counting the cost of the games we play Do it again, back to the start Same old rhythm, same old heart [Verse] Silver shaker and a low café light Someone laughing but it don’t feel right Numbers changing on a hotel door Seen that pattern somewhere before Bass keeps walking, never too fast Every promise fading into the past Cool conversation, crooked smile Everybody staying just a little while [Instrumental break: Electric piano solo with Latin percussion groove] [Chorus] Do it again, spin it around Lost in the groove of a dangerous sound Do it again, nobody knows Where the wheel of the night time goes Do it again, back in the game Different faces but it’s all the same Do it again, roll the dice Paying the debt of the same old price [Bridge] [Breakdown: Bass and shaker only, soft organ pad] Round and round in the midnight glow One more secret nobody shows Step too close and you play the part Every circle leads back to the start [Build: Full band returns with electric piano chords] [Chorus] Do it again, spin it around Lost in the groove of a dangerous sound Do it again, nobody knows Where the wheel of the night time goes Do it again, drift in the haze Counting the cost of the games we play Do it again, back to the start Same old rhythm, same old heart [Outro: Congas, electric piano, fading groove, soft vocal ad-libs] Slow ride… keep it low… (Night goes on, night goes on) Same groove… same show… [end]
