Wake the City Up lyrics
Intro
Log drum in my chest
Feet find the floor
Chorus
We gon' wake the city up
Wake the city up
Hands up, dust to gold
We gon' wake the city up
Verse
Streetlight on my shoulders
Bassline in my blood
Losing my name
In the sound, in the sound
Pre-Chorus
Higher, hold the horn
Let the whistle call us home
Chorus
We gon' wake the city up
Wake the city up
Hands up, dust to gold
We gon' wake the city up
Verse
Shoes worn soft from moving
Sweat like morning rain
No clock, no name
Just the sound, just the sound
Pre-Chorus
Higher, hold the horn
Let the whistle call us home
Chorus
We gon' wake the city up
Wake the city up
Hands up, dust to gold
We gon' wake the city up
Bridge
Sun's coming, we still moving
Skin and light, one long groove
Nobody left standing still
Outro
We woke the city up
Wake the city up
