[Intro - Sax & Five-Beat Drums] [Verse 1] Tik-tok, standard time is dead tonight Five beats dancing in the neon light Forget the four, break away the rule Step into the shadow, staying cool [Verse 2] Corner bar with a smoky haze Whiskey glowing in a amber blaze Catch my glance, can you feel the sway? Leave your heavy worries far away [Chorus] Take five, step into the groove Feel the syncopation, let it move One, two, three, four, five and go Catch the rhythm, simple and slow Yeah, take five, just let it flow [Saxophone Solo - Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Mid-night clock keeps ticking slow Velvet breeze, where the streetlights glow No rush now, let the moment stay Wandering until the break of day [Chorus] Take five, step into the groove Feel the syncopation, let it move One, two, three, four, five and go Catch the rhythm, simple embodiment below Yeah, take five, just let it flow [Bridge] Five steps in the dark Leaving a tiny spark Count it out, beat by beat Feel the cool, steady heat [Chorus] Take five, step into the groove Feel the syncopation, let it move One, two, three, four, five and go Catch the rhythm, simple and slow Yeah, take five, just let it flow [Outro] Five beats fading out... One, two, three, four, five... Take five, night is alive... [Fade out]
