Lyrics
Lagos never sleeps and neither do I
Neon bleeds through humid air
The speaker stack vibrates my ribs
The bass line parts the crowd like prayer
Highlife electric the floor is shaking
Highlife electric the floor is shaking
Floor is shaking
Floor is shaking
The guitar cuts through sweat and smoke
A riff so clean it tastes like chrome
The log drums hit like second heartbeats
And every body finds its home
Strip it down to what the hips already know
The rest is decoration this right here is the conversation
Highlife electric the floor is shaking
Highlife electric the floor is shaking
Floor is shaking
Floor is shaking
The sweat runs down like holy water
The kick drum is the only clock
I left my shoes beside the entrance
And found religion in the drop
The DJ raises both her hands
The crowd responds with everything
Tonight the city has no ceiling
Tonight the bass line is the king
