Lights Off in Soweto

Verse

Candlewax drips on the concrete floor

Copper skin glowing through an open door

Static hum where the speaker bleeds

Count the heartbeats, chase the tweeter's needs

Pre-Chorus

Somewhere past the third hour

Somewhere past the power

Feel the room start to bend

Chorus

Lights off in Soweto

Bassline in my bones

Lights off in Soweto

I don't wanna go home

Lost it on the floor now

Lost it on the floor

Lights off in Soweto

Give me one hour more

Verse

Sweat on the ceiling, drips like rain

Same four bars but I feel no pain

Strangers moving like we share one mind

Left my name at the door behind

Pre-Chorus

Somewhere past the third hour

Somewhere past the power

Feel the room start to bend

Chorus

Lights off in Soweto

Bassline in my bones

Lights off in Soweto

I don't wanna go home

Lost it on the floor now

Lost it on the floor

Lights off in Soweto

Give me one hour more

Bridge

No clock on the wall

No shoes on my feet

Just kick drum and smoke

And the pulse of the street

I forgot who I came here as

I remember now, I remember fast

Chorus

Lights off in Soweto

Bassline in my bones

Lights off in Soweto

I don't wanna go home

Lost it on the floor now

Lost it on the floor

Lights off in Soweto

Give me one hour more
