Verse 1 The city’s sleeping, midnight glows Static whispers through the radio No station name, no voice, no sign Just a rhythm keeping perfect time Old cassette begins to spin A melody beneath my skin Every streetlight starts to sway Someone’s calling me away Pre-Chorus In every mirror, just out of sight A silhouette beneath blue light She’s waiting where the shadows play Moving closer every day Chorus Frequency eighty-eight Don’t be late, don’t hesitate When the neon starts to fade Dance until the night invades Frequency eighty-eight Every heartbeat seals your fate Hear the signal, feel it play There’s no turning away Verse 2 Empty ballroom, moving feet No reflections on the street Every window shows the same Someone smiling through the rain of light Every chorus pulls me near Every echo sounds so clear Faces vanish, music grows Only the station really knows Pre-Chorus The tape rewinds without a hand A voice I cannot understand One more song is all it takes One more step before I wake Chorus Frequency eighty-eight Don’t be late, don’t hesitate When the neon starts to fade Dance until the night invades Frequency eighty-eight Every heartbeat seals your fate Hear the signal, feel it play There’s no turning away Bridge The speakers breathe… The lights grow thin… Every dancer wears the same grin… No beginning… No goodbye… Just another Saturday night… The music knows your name… Final Chorus Frequency eighty-eight Now the city’s wide awake Every soul moves in a line Keeping perfect, endless time Frequency eighty-eight Hear the call beyond the gate When the final record plays You’ll be dancing always… Outro Static… A cassette clicks. A distant voice whispers: “Welcome back…” Then the music starts again.
