[Intro] (Smooth piano chords, walking bass starts low and steady) [Verse 1] 2 AM, the city lights fade Melting in the rearview mirror shade Like wiping off a coat of red rouge The velvet night begins its dark deluge Step on the gas, just a little more A solitude I’ve never felt before Floating from the speakers, soft and low A weary sax begins its smoky flow [Chorus] Rolling on the velvet asphalt, smooth and wide Chasing tail lights on a midnight ride In the silence where the world’s asleep The secrets of the city are mine to keep It’s just a midnight drive... Wrapped in the rhythm, feeling so alive [Verse 2] Neon showers on the window pane Shadows dancing in the silver rain No destination, no place to be The steering wheel knows where to take me Leaving all the noise of yesterday behind In this acceleration, peace I find Tapping out the tempo on the wheel The magic of the night is all I feel [Bridge] (Muted trumpet solo - melancholic and elegant) This is my territory, my own space Outrunning time, winning every race To the edge of the night, I’ll fly away Before the city turns to shades of gray [Chorus] Rolling on the velvet asphalt, smooth and wide Chasing tail lights on a midnight ride In the silence where the world’s asleep The secrets of the city are mine to keep It’s just a midnight drive... Tuned to a rhythm, deeper than love [Outro] Velvet asphalt... Midnight blue... Just me and the road... (Piano fades out with a final, lingering bass note)
