Hold That Beat (version 2)

Intro

Slow down

Hold that beat

Verse 1

Back street hums, no streetlight on

Neon bleeds red on the shutter door

Your hand on my shoulder, heavy and warm

Bass in the asphalt shakes the floor

Pre-Chorus

Clock on the corner says ten to six

Sky going grey, but we don't quit

Chorus

Hold that beat, hold that beat

Your pulse in my palm, kick in the street

Hold that beat, hold that beat

Don't let the morning in, hold that beat

Verse 2

Heat on my arm where your sleeve rolls up

Your sweat's a sample I loop too much

You lean in close, I lean right back

Two snares rolling on the same track

Pre-Chorus

Clock on the corner says ten to six

Sky going grey, but we don't quit

Chorus

Hold that beat, hold that beat

Your pulse in my palm, kick in the street

Hold that beat, hold that beat

Don't let the morning in, hold that beat

Bridge – whispered

No light

Just low end

Your breath

My rhythm

Closer

Again

Final Chorus

Hold that beat, hold that beat

Your pulse in my palm, kick in the street

Hold that beat, hold that beat

Don't let the morning in, hold that beat

Outro

Ten to six, the clock won't move

Hold that beat
