Golden Skin, Higher Ground (version 2)

Verse

Light breaks gold through the smoke machine

Percussion climbs where the kick has been

Toes find the tile, heels start to rise

Sun on our shoulders, no more disguise

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climb, feel it swell

Bassline stacking, hard to tell

Where the floor ends, where we start

Rising heat in every part

Chorus

Golden skin, higher ground

Feet leave the floor without a sound

Golden skin, higher ground

Bass lifts us up, we don't come down

Verse

Congas stack on the hi-hat's shine

Hands go up on the same four line

Shoulders catch the amber glow

Every layer makes the room grow

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climb, feel it swell

Bassline stacking, hard to tell

Where the floor ends, where we start

Rising heat in every part

Chorus

Golden skin, higher ground

Feet leave the floor without a sound

Golden skin, higher ground

Bass lifts us up, we don't come down

Bridge

Up past the rafters, up past the light

Nothing but rhythm, nothing but height

Arms full of sunrise, chest full of drum

We keep on rising till the low end comes

Chorus

Golden skin, higher ground

Feet leave the floor without a sound

Golden skin, higher ground

Bass lifts us up, we don't come down
