After midnight! High tide! After midnight! [EXTENDED INSTRUMENTAL] [SURF GUITAR SOLO – bright spring reverb, rapid tremolo picking, NO VOCALS] [CLUB GROOVE – four-on-the-floor beat returns] Water keeps rising Speakers shake the shore Everybody dancing Still asking for more Hands high Lights low Feel that undertow [BUILD – chopped vocal samples, snare riser, surf guitar riff repeats faster] HIGH TIDE! AFTER MIDNIGHT! HIGH TIDE! AFTER MIDNIGHT! [EXTENDED INSTRUMENTAL – half-time bass section] Whoa-oh! High tide! Whoa-oh! All night!
