Lights Don't Ask Permission lyrics
Verse
Traffic lights forget the sequence tonight
Red turns green and then it's gold, no reason why
Bass drops low while horns still hum a mile away
Your hand finds mine through a crowd of faces untroubled
Nobody checks a clock in this one hour that's given
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the beat forget what time it is?
Doors stay open till the bassline says us
Chorus
Lights don't ask permission, lights just do what they're for
Turn to gold then turn to blue and then some more
We move before we know why, we move like the floor gives in
Lights don't ask permission, lights just do what they're for
Verse 2
Taxi roofs blinking red and silver on the lane
Someone's speaker skipping but the crowd still sustains
Sweat gone cool then warm again right quick
Nobody's leaving till the DJ's next trick
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the beat forget what time it is?
Doors stay open till the bassline says us
Chorus
Lights don't ask permission, lights just do what they're for
Turn to gold then turn to blue and then some more
We move before we know why, we move like the floor gives in
Lights don't ask permission, lights just do what they're for
Bridge
If tomorrow brings a different kind of hour
Tonight was never about an hour
It's just this room and all the gold it throws at us
Nothing says when but everything says now
Chorus
Lights don't ask permission, lights just do what they're for
Turn to gold then turn to blue and then some more
We move before we know why, we move like the floor gives in
Lights don't ask permission, lights just do what they're for
