Lyrics
[Intro] (Sparse, warm keys with subtle tape hiss) Yeah, yeah... Tropical night, let it float... Mm-hmm, listen. [Verse 1] Midnight breeze in the palm trees sway Shadows move in a velvet way Glass on ice, feel the low end hum Waiting for the heat to come Soft skin glow under golden lights We don't need to rush tonight Step real slow to the kick and snare Summertime in the heavy air [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the rhythm taking hold right now Yeah, you know exactly how Pull me closer, lose the control Feel it down inside your soul Hold that pose, let the bassline swell Got a story we can't tell... [Chorus] When the sun goes down, we own the night Moving slow in the dashboard light Catch that groove, let the whole room sway We ain't stopping till the break of day Yeah, we own the night (Yeah, yeah) Everything feels so right Catch that groove, let the whole room sway We ain't stopping till the break of day [Verse 2] Rhythmic Chops on the beat so clean Smooth operator on the scene Whisper low in a dynamic tone Never leaving you alone Perk that beat, keep the cadence sweet Caribbean pulse in the city street Every move like a rolling tide Nowhere left for the heart to hide [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the rhythm taking hold right now Yeah, you know exactly how Pull me closer, lose the control Feel it down inside your soul Hold that pose, let the bassline swell Got a story we can't tell... [Chorus] When the sun goes down, we own the night Moving slow in the dashboard light Catch that groove, let the whole room sway We ain't stopping till the break of day Yeah, we own the night (Yeah, yeah) Everything feels so right Catch that groove, let the whole room sway We ain't stopping till the break of day [Bridge] (Stripped back to sub bass and clean chops) Just you and me in the summer heat Feel the floor beneath our feet One time for the vibe, two times for the swell We got a story we can't tell... [Chorus] When the sun goes down, we own the night Moving slow in the dashboard light Catch that groove, let the whole room sway We ain't stopping till the break of day Yeah, we own the night (Yeah, yeah) Everything feels so right Catch that groove, let the whole room sway We ain't stopping till the break of day [Outro] (Drums fade, warm sub and soft tape hiss) We own the night... Yeah, yeah... Let it ride out. Mm-hmm.
