[Intro: kick, shaker, organ stabs, spoken male] Friday night Warehouse by the river Lights off Let it go [Verse 1] Twenty years a deacon, second pew, my Sunday suit is gray I count the offering on Mondays and I've never missed a day But my cousin had a wristband for a warehouse by the train Said, Harold, it's so dark in there that nobody knows your name (Nobody knows your name) [Pre-Chorus] Then the kick came up through the concrete And the organ hit my knees And a man in a bucket hat beside me Moved like somebody got set free [Chorus: female diva answers] Lights up (lights up) Who you been dancing with? Three hours in the dark and I never saw his face Lights up (lights up) Who you been dancing with? We were having church in a different place [Verse 2] He knew every single word and every turn the record made Threw his hands up on the high note like he's leading a parade When the DJ dropped a gospel record over kick and clap He hollered, Can I get a witness, and the whole room gave it back And I swear I knew that holler, but the bass was in my chest And a bucket hat in the dark is a pretty good disguise, I guess [Pre-Chorus] And the sweat came down like Jordan And the floor began to quake And a woman by the speakers hit the high note Like the lady on our organ, for heaven's sake [Chorus: female diva answers] Lights up (lights up) Who you been dancing with? Three hours in the dark and I never saw his face Lights up (lights up) Who you been dancing with? We were having church in a different place [Breakdown: drops to kick and organ, spoken male, other voices answer in parentheses] Four a.m. House lights Oh no Pastor Reed? (Deacon Harold?) And is that Sister Bernice by the speakers? (Morning, Deacon) [Verse 3: piano builds back in] Sunday morning, second pew, my gray suit, and my calves are sore Pastor Reed comes limping to the pulpit, never limped before He preached on David dancing in the street with all his might Said, some of y'all had church a little early, Friday night Then Sister Bernice on the organ slid that groove into the hymn And the front row started stepping, and I caught the pastor's grin [Bridge: kick drops out, organ and voices] And David danced before the Lord with all his might (Some of y'all danced Friday night) Let the church say amen (Amen) [Final Chorus: key change, female diva ad libs] Lights up (lights up) Who you been dancing with? Half the choir by the speakers, and the pastor, by God's grace Lights up (lights up) Who you been dancing with? We were having church in a different place (Church in a different place) [Outro: kick and organ fade, spoken male] First Friday of the month Bucket hat Second pew Amen
