Ginger Lips at Midnight (version 2)

Verse

Stall light flicker, orange on your cheek

Ginger steam rising, curling up so sweet

Plastic cup between your fingers, warm

You blow the top, small smile before the storm

Pepper soup smoke drifting cross the street

Suya smell mixing with the ginger heat

You pass the cup, say make I taste am small

Your mouth still burning, I don't mind at all

Pre-Chorus

So how deep, how deep this spice go

Slow down, make the fire grow

Lean in close, gimme the sign

I got time, I got time

Chorus

Ginger lips at midnight, ginger lips

Burning slow, sweetest kind of trip

Market lights turn low, turn low

Ginger lips, I no wan go

Ginger lips at midnight, ginger lips

Your mouth dey talk, I dey read your lips

Whole street asleep, we still dey glow

Ginger lips, I no wan go

Verse

Harmattan wind blowing dust and gold

Your scarf come loose, you say you cold

I move small closer, share my jacket sleeve

Your laugh get pepper, e no dey leave

Bench under mango tree, moonlight thin

You touch your lips, say the taste sink in

Generator hum, one candle flame

You say my name like say na spice, my name

Pre-Chorus

So how deep, how deep this spice go

Slow down, make the fire grow

Lean in close, gimme the sign

I got time, I got time

Chorus

Ginger lips at midnight, ginger lips

Burning slow, sweetest kind of trip

Market lights turn low, turn low

Ginger lips, I no wan go

Ginger lips at midnight, ginger lips

Your mouth dey talk, I dey read your lips

Whole street asleep, we still dey glow

Ginger lips, I no wan go

Bridge

Forget the cup, forget the cold

Just your breath, ginger and gold

No be the drink, na you dey burn me so

Closer now, let the whole world go slow

Chorus

Ginger lips at midnight, ginger lips

Burning slow, sweetest kind of trip

Market lights turn low, turn low

Ginger lips, I no wan go

Ginger lips at midnight, ginger lips

Your mouth dey talk, I dey read your lips

Whole street asleep, we still dey glow

Ginger lips, I no wan go
