Track Insight / Lyrics
Gears whirring, espresso buzzin'
Midnight diner, neon glitzin'
My keys dance slow, a vinyl hiss...
Secret stories 'round the cash register's kiss
Coffee cups stacked tall, the register tallied
Old ladies gossip, switchblade Moms get ready
Raucous laughter echoes, cigarette smoke wisps
I'm spinning tunes, while dreams and truth dip in the tips
So many lives in this greasy spoon
Midnight lays like a velvet cape, a funky swoon
I'm the conductor, the beat of the night
When the neon costs more than the fare to the fight
Funky Nightshift, all I need is the rhythm
Funky Nightshift, my shining, sweaty, incognito gem
Funky Nightshift, ain't no boss gonna pin me down
Funky Nightshift, I'm clocking in, rocking this town
The whiskey pours, a jazz quartet fades
Stiletto heels, lonely lovers, strangers, misfits, shades
Exchange notes, whispers, and broken dreams
The jukebox hums, a nostalgic theme...
So many lives in this greasy spoon
Midnight lays like a velvet cape, a funky swoon
I'm the conductor, the beat of the night
When the neon costs more than the fare to the fight
Funky Nightshift, all I need is the rhythm
Funky Nightshift, my shining, sweaty, incognito gem
Funky Nightshift, ain't no boss gonna pin me down
Funky Nightshift, I'm clocking in, rocking this town
*SLAP, SLAP, SLAP, TAP-TAP* Horns blaze, strings swing...
The funk ignites, the night sings
So as the clock ticks on, to the break of dawn
I'll keep my secrets safe, like the cash in my drawer
The neon's my cover, while my heart beats to the groove
I'm the master of this diner, the keeper of the funky truth
Funky Nightshift, all I need is the rhythm
Funky Nightshift, my shining, sweaty, incognito gem
Funky Nightshift, ain't no boss gonna pin me down
Funky Nightshift, I'm clocking in, rocking this town
Gears whirring, espresso buzzin'
Midnight diner, neon glitzin'
I tip the lid, exhale the steam
Another shift done, but the funk still beams
