Midnight Velvet

Yeah, yeah, yeah;

The clock is ticking but it's out of time;

I'm sipping shadows and I'm feeling fine;

The moon is leaning on a neon sign;

Just like this heavy, heavy heart of mine;

My friend is crying in the corner seat;

Waitin' for a groove that's bittersweet;

One, two, shoes off;

I feel the static comin' through the floor;

I don't need the lights, don't need the doors;

Just let low and rumble give me more;

Oh, let it sink in deep;

That midnight velvet, honey, I don't sleep;

I got the blues in my pocket, funk in my soul;

A little bit of fire that

I can't control;

Yeah, the night is long, but the rhythm is gold;

Keep it movin', keep it bold;

Six strings, one king, no place to be;

The bass is talkin' dirty back to me;

It's a smooth operator kinda vibe, the only way;

I'm gonna stay alive;

I'm trading secrets with the smoke and haze;

Lost inside this purple-colored maze;

Wait, hold that beat, I got a heartbeat;

One, two, three, free as a bird in a minor key;

Don't tell me about the morning light;

I'm the king of the groove tonight;

Oh, let it sink in deep;

That midnight velvet, honey, I don't sleep;

I got the blues in my pocket, funk in my soul;

A little bit of fire that

I can't control;

Yeah, the night is long, but the rhythm is good;

Midnight velvet, just let the record spin;

Just let the record spin;
