Lights Won't Sleep (Version 2)

Verse

Doors still humming from the crowd outside

Someone's shoes left by the speaker stack

Concrete floor cold under bare feet

Last light bleeding through the window gap

Bassline fading slow into static

Ice cube floating in a plastic cup

Hands up caught in the strobe line haze

Nobody wants the music to stop

Pre-Chorus

Hold it right there, don't let go now

One more minute, one more round of sound

Feet won't stop but I can feel the floor sink

We're still moving though the lights are going down

Chorus

Lights won't sleep just yet

Holding on to every set

Floor's shaking under skin

Lights won't sleep till it's time to end

Verse

Speaker cones breathing slow and hot

Someone's laughing by the fire door

Glass bottles stacked against the wall

Nobody's ready for the room to close

Neon flickers out one by one

My heartbeat matching the kick drum's count

Ribs still rattling from that last drop low

We keep dancing like we're running out of time

Pre-Chorus

Hold it right there, don't let go now

One more minute, one more round of sound

Feet won't stop but I can feel the floor sink

We're still moving though the lights are going down

Chorus

Lights won't sleep just yet

Holding on to every set

Floor's shaking under skin

Lights won't sleep till it's time to end

Bridge

Shutters half shut, amber on the wall

Speaker coughs one last fading call

Someone cheers as the last light dies

We ride that silence like a low tide

Chorus

Lights won't sleep just yet

Holding on to every set

Floor's shaking under skin

Lights won't sleep till it's time to end
