Dance Slow Under Lagos Lights

Verse

Go-slow on the bridge, but we don't mind the wait

Suya smoke curling, curling round your plait

Okada horns singing, danfo dey blow

Streetlight turn your skin to liquid gold, slow

Pre-Chorus

So how far, how far, to your side of the car

Lean a little closer, tell me who you are

Third mainland breeze got your perfume on me

I got time, I got time, till the city dey free

Chorus

Dance slow under Lagos lights

Traffic ain't moving but we alright

Hold me close, forget the time

Dance slow under Lagos lights

Verse

Radio playing something with a lazy tune

You dey hum the words under this yellow moon

Sweat and diesel, but your neck smell sweet

Fingers on my collar keeping time with the heat

Pre-Chorus

So how far, how far, before the lights turn green

Nobody dey rush us, nobody dey between

I got time, I got time, we go take it slow

Lean into my shoulder, let the whole night flow

Chorus

Dance slow under Lagos lights

Traffic ain't moving but we alright

Hold me close, forget the time

Dance slow under Lagos lights

Bridge

Horns dey blow but I no hear them again

Just your heartbeat matching the falling rain

Windscreen fogging, city outside dey run

We dey still, we dey one

Chorus

Dance slow under Lagos lights

Traffic ain't moving but we alright

Hold me close, forget the time

Dance slow under Lagos lights
