[Intro] Talking drums in the distance Generator hum under the window Heat sitting heavy on concrete Someone shouting two streets over [Percussion Build] [Verse 1] Orange light on the bus stop rail Sweat running slow down bottle glass Phone screen cracked like dry season dirt Still ringing, still ringing back White shirt sticking at the collar line Traffic leaning into itself One hand counting folded notes One eye watching everybody else Motorbike cutting through red lights Church shoes covered in dust again Nobody asking where sleep went Just move your feet when the drums begin [Pre-Chorus] Ahh— Sun dropping hard behind antennas Ahh— Whole block breathing through static [Hook] Move for me Move for me now Kick drum shaking the floorboards loose Hands up high Shoulders roll back Whole night balancing bad news Bright shoes flash in the roadside dark Bassline walking like it knows us Laugh too loud when the pressure breaks Mainland gold in the glow of the bus lights [Post-Hook] Eh-yo No slow down tonight Eh-yo No stillness tonight [Verse 2] Blue LEDs through tinted glass Girls laughing into cheap perfume Ice melting fast in plastic cups Generator singing out of tune Everybody dressed like next year came Even with heat sitting in the lungs Streetlight flicker on gold wristwatches Taxi doors never staying shut Somebody dancing on broken tile Somebody selling cold water still Somebody saying the rent went up Still the kick drum climbing the hill [Pre-Chorus] Ahh— Bodies moving before the thinking Ahh— Don’t let the silence catch us [Hook] Move for me Move for me now Kick drum shaking the floorboards loose Hands up high Shoulders roll back Whole night balancing bad news Bright shoes flash in the roadside dark Bassline walking like it knows us Laugh too loud when the pressure breaks Mainland gold in the glow of the bus lights [Instrumental Break] [Polyrhythmic percussion expansion] [Expressive electric guitar solo] [Melodic bass counterline] [Crowd chants layered in background] [Bridge] Morning comes whether ready or not So dance hard while the speakers hold Everybody carrying something heavy Still turning heat into gold [Final Hook] Move for me Move for me now Whole block shining through the fatigue Hands up high Shoulders roll back Rhythm stronger than anything Bright shoes flash in the roadside dark Bassline walking beside us still Laugh too loud when the pressure breaks Mainland gold under violet hills [Outro] Generator hum fading slowly Talking drums still moving somewhere far
