[Intro][Hi-hat Ticks + Guitar Mutes]
Streetlights blink—pull me closer—count it in: 5-6-7-8.
[Verse]
Velvet skyline on your cheekbone glow,
Taxi door swing, we slip in slow.
Neon eyelash, wink in the glass,
Every red light says “let this pass.”
[Pre-Chorus]
Pulse like a record, spin to the spark,
Shadows write love notes, heart in the dark.
Shoulder-to-shoulder, rhythm in bloom,
We turn the city into our room.
[Chorus][Hook]
We’re beautiful after dark,
Horns paint gold around the spark.
Hands up—step to the mark,
Clap on two—ignite the park.
Beautiful after dark,
Kiss me quick—leave your mark.
[Post-Chorus][Falsetto Riffs + Claps]
Ah—oo—slide… let the night decide.
[Verse 2]
Confetti traffic on the riverside lane,
Moon buys rounds through a club windowpane.
Laugh in my ear like a silver ring,
Every little word makes the bassline sing.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Tempo gets brave, bodies align,
Street-corner choir on the downbeat nine.
I whisper “stay till the sun says start,”
You grin and sign your name on my heart.
[Beat Switch][Halftime Trap + Sub]
[Rap Verse]
Midnight goddess with a high-rise view,
I cue the drums and the night cues you.
Eyes talk fluent—no need to explain,
I’m the open road in the midnight rain.
Step on the groove like a private art,
VIP rope just fell apart.
[Bridge][Falsetto + Stacked Harmonies]
Close your eyes—let the film run slow,
Frames of heat in a golden glow.
If day is polite, then night is the truth—
We dance like forever in borrowed youth.
[Final Chorus][Key Lift + Brass Swell]
We’re beautiful after dark,
Horns ring halos ’round the spark.
Hands up—step to the mark,
Clap on two—light the park.
Beautiful after dark,
Say my name—leave your mark.
[Big Finish][Horn Cascade + Drum Stop]
Spin—freeze—grin—spark,
City exhales… fade to dark.
[End]
