Lagos Nights Never Sleep

Verse

Orange sky over Ahmadu Street

Palm wine spilling to the rhythm of my feet

You came through in that yellow head-tie

Catching light like a match in my eye

Bass line rolling from the speaker stack

Your shoulder brushed mine, I ain't stepping back

Six o'clock and the air smells like smoke and salt

Dancing closer, girl, it's nobody's fault

Pre-Chorus

Somebody call the DJ, tell him slow it down

We found each other in the middle of the crowd

The whole town moving but I only see your face

Pulling you in to my favorite place

Chorus

Lagos nights never sleep, never sleep

You and me in the heat, in the heat

Hands up high where the palm trees sway

Lagos nights never sleep till day

Lagos nights never sleep, never sleep

Found you dancing in the street, in the street

Every drum keep saying stay

Lagos nights never sleep till day

Verse

Now we moving through the Marina glow

Neon signs painting you in indigo

Got your number written on my wrist in ink

Sweetest secret that the city let me think

Danfo horns are singing out the beat

Vendors calling out from down the street

But I'm not listening, I'm right here with you

Sunset melting into something new

Pre-Chorus

Somebody call the DJ, tell him slow it down

We found each other in the middle of the crowd

The whole town moving but I only see your face

Pulling you in to my favorite place

Chorus

Lagos nights never sleep, never sleep

You and me in the heat, in the heat

Hands up high where the palm trees sway

Lagos nights never sleep till day

Lagos nights never sleep, never sleep

Found you dancing in the street, in the street

Every drum keep saying stay

Lagos nights never sleep till day

Bridge

Maybe it's the music, maybe it's your eyes

Maybe it's the way this whole city never dies

Either way I'm staying till the morning light

Either way you're mine for tonight

Chorus

Lagos nights never sleep, never sleep

You and me in the heat, in the heat

Hands up high where the palm trees sway

Lagos nights never sleep till day

Lagos nights never sleep, never sleep

Found you dancing in the street, in the street

Every drum keep saying stay

Lagos nights never sleep till day
