Log drum rolling at our feet

Verse 1

Salt in the wind off the water line

Generator humming in double time

Yellow cabs idling side by side

You pull my hand and we step inside

Red plastic cups on the wooden bar

Bass drum shaking every parked-up car

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the timber start to sway?

We threw the morning so far away

Hands in the air, nobody leaves

Nothing between us but the ocean breeze

Chorus

Lagos nights never sleep

Log drum rolling at our feet

Drop your shadow, feel the heat

Lagos nights never sleep

Verse 2

Shirt sticking wet to a heavy chest

Nobody talking about sleep or rest

Sweet pepper smoke from the roadside fire

Speaker cone singing like an open wire

Two steps left and you pull me close

Giving the rhythm what it wants the most

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the timber start to sway?

We threw the morning so far away

Hands in the air, nobody leaves

Nothing between us but the ocean breeze

Chorus

Lagos nights never sleep

Log drum rolling at our feet

Drop your shadow, feel the heat

Lagos nights never sleep

Bridge

No yesterday, no tomorrow

Not a single minute left to borrow

Just the pulse, just the roll

Let the deep bass take control

Let it roll, let it roll

Chorus

Lagos nights never sleep

Log drum rolling at our feet

Drop your shadow, feel the heat

Lagos nights never sleep
