**Skating After Dark** [Immediate Groove] [Skate blade scrape, bass riff, kick drum] [Opening Hook] Push—glide. Left—right. Meet me on the ice tonight. [Verse 1] City Hall is glowing red and blue, the ice reflects the skyline too. Your shadow cuts across my lane, one sharp turn and you’re beside me again. The speakers shake the winter air, every blade becomes a snare. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t stop at the rail, don’t look at the time. Your left hand just found mine. [Chorus] Push, glide, turn with me, let the cold set the rhythm free. Your left hand finds my right, we’re skating after dark tonight. Round and round, don’t slow it down, the whole city spins around. If the winter has a heart, it beats when we’re skating after dark. [Verse 2] A man in a suit loosens his tie, a woman takes his hand and smiles. Two silver-haired lovers take the bend and show us how the night should end. No one’s standing at the side, the whole square is coming alive. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t stop at the rail, don’t look at the time. Every heartbeat falls in line. [Chorus] Push, glide, turn with me, let the cold set the rhythm free. Your left hand finds my right, we’re skating after dark tonight. Round and round, don’t slow it down, the whole city spins around. If the winter has a heart, it beats when we’re skating after dark. [Dance Break – Group Calls] Push! Glide! Cross! Turn! Feel the frozen city burn! Push! Glide! Move all night! [Instrumental Dance Groove] [Funk bass, rhythmic guitar, synth stabs, skate percussion] [Bridge – Bass and Handclaps] No ballroom, no velvet rope, just blades, a beat and winter smoke. You pull me close, the bass comes back, and the whole rink moves as one. [Final Chorus] Push, glide, turn with me, let the cold set the rhythm free. Every left hand finds a right, we’re skating after dark tonight. Round and round, don’t slow it down, the whole city spins around. If the winter has a heart, it beats when we’re skating after dark. [Outro Hook] Push—glide. Left—right. Meet me on the ice tonight.
