[HOOK] Lights out, still we shine Night crew moving on overtime Silver paint on every street We don’t sleep, we don’t retreat Big sky lamp, we own the block Shadows jump when the rhythm drop Count the stars then we double back Night time thunder, that’s a fact [VERSE 1] Door creaks open, sneakers hit the concrete Cool air slaps my face like a welcome beat Porch light dies, now the whole yard’s a stage I tap the rail and I set the pace Grass glows wet like it’s holding sparks I hop the fence, leave the house in the dark Crickets on snare, wind knocking bass First eight done — now I own this place [PRE-CHORUS] Heart in my chest going boom-boom-boom Night air tasting like a brand new room Feet don’t lie when the pavement talks We turning hush into a city-wide walk [CHORUS] We take the dark and we make it jump Empty streets turn into a pump We louder than the sleeping blocks Night time clock but we smash the tocks Silver sky is the only light We wear the glow like a jacket tight No slow lane, no easy ride Night crew rolling, we amplify [POST-CHORUS] Keep it moving, don’t you stall Night don’t wait, it wants it all Next block calling, hear that call— [VERSE 2] Alley shortcut, dumpster drums for free I ride the echo like the beat’s on me Fireflies pop like tiny flash cameras Raccoon crew rolling like they own the lane Trash-can lid becomes a crash cymbal I kick the rhythm, make the metal tremble Street sign leaning, I flip the law Second eight heavy — I just shook the block raw [PRE-CHORUS] Pulse in my neck like a marching line Dark don’t scare me, it just keeps time Hands in the air for the quiet parade We built a concert that the sun can’t fade [CHORUS] We take the dark and we make it jump Empty streets turn into a pump We louder than the sleeping blocks Night time clock but we smash the tocks Silver sky is the only light We wear the glow like a jacket tight No slow lane, no easy ride Night crew rolling, we amplify [POST-CHORUS] Don’t look back, the glow won’t last Sprint the corner, make it fast Third wave coming, feel that blast— [HOOK] Lights out, still we shine Night crew moving on overtime Silver paint on every street We don’t sleep, we don’t retreat Big sky lamp, we own the block Shadows jump when the rhythm drop Count the stars then we double back Night time thunder, that’s a fact [VERSE 3] Park is empty but the swings still speak Chain-link chorus with a rusty squeak I hop the seat and I kick the sky Slide turns silver, I ride it high Monkey bars become a xylophone Owl in the pine throws a low-note one Bench is a throne, I claim it then bounce Third eight longer — I refuse to flounce [PRE-CHORUS] Sweat on the brow but the grin stays wide Dark is a runway and I own the stride Every little sound is a piece I steal Turn the quiet block into a battlefield of feel [CHORUS] We take the dark and we make it jump Empty streets turn into a pump We louder than the sleeping blocks Night time clock but we smash the tocks Silver sky is the only light We wear the glow like a jacket tight No slow lane, no easy ride Night crew rolling, we amplify [POST-CHORUS] Keep the motor in a constant flow Fourth verse ready, let it go No fade coming, we already know— [VERSE 4] Backstreet river of a cracked sidewalk I skip the lines like I’m dodging the clock Hydrant dripping keeps a hi-hat click Garage-door rattle is a rolling snare Wind chime jumps in, then it cuts out clean I duck the branches, keep the pocket mean Pebbles underfoot become a drum kit Fourth eight hungry — pavement won’t forget [PRE-CHORUS] Lungs on fire but the voice stays cold Every single step is a story told No map needed when the glow is the guide We write the city with the way we stride [CHORUS] We take the dark and we make it jump Empty streets turn into a pump We louder than the sleeping blocks Night time clock but we smash the tocks Silver sky is the only light We wear the glow like a jacket tight No slow lane, no easy ride Night crew rolling, we amplify [POST-CHORUS] That’s the run, that’s the whole design Night crew out, but we still on the line Bridge right now — then the hook one time— [BRIDGE] Slow it? Never. Drop it? No. We keep the motor in a constant flow From the first step out to the last loud shout The night is a track and we wear it out No intermission, no fade, no chill Just louder feet and a sharper will One breath in, then we rip it again That’s the law of the night-time plan [HOOK] Lights out, still we shine Night crew moving on overtime Silver paint on every street We don’t sleep, we don’t retreat Big sky lamp, we own the block Shadows jump when the rhythm drop Count the stars then we double back Night time thunder, that’s a fact Oh oh oh oh.
