[Verse 1] [Male Voice 1] The sun slides down the harbor wall Your dress keeps time with the cooling air We stand where the orange shadows fall And every glance is a dangerous dare [Male Voice 2] The vendors fold their last gold light Cats on the steps and the old fan turns But under the hush of the fading sky Something in us still burns [Pre-Chorus] [Male Voice 1] And the night comes close [Male Voice 2] Slow like smoke on skin [Male Voice 1] One more beat, one more step [Male Voice 2] Let the fever in [Chorus] Heat of the night, heat of the night Hold me close till the stars go bright Heat of the night, heat of the night We dance on the edge till morning light (heat of the night) [Verse 2] [Male Voice 1] Your laugh rolls out like shaken ice Across the patio, across my chest I try to keep my calm tonight But you know how the body confesses [Male Voice 2] The brass calls out from a bar down the street The congas talk in a rolling chain We move so easy, we move so deep Like a river after rain [Pre-Chorus] [Male Voice 1] And the night comes close [Male Voice 2] Slow like smoke on skin [Male Voice 1] One more beat, one more step [Male Voice 2] Let the fever in [Chorus] Heat of the night, heat of the night Hold me close till the stars go bright Heat of the night, heat of the night We dance on the edge till morning light (heat of the night) [Bridge] [Male Voice 1] If dawn finds us here, let it find us warm [Male Voice 2] With the whole dark sea in our hands [Male Voice 1] No need for a promise, no need for a plan [Male Voice 2] Just two hearts learning the land [Chorus] Heat of the night, heat of the night Hold me close till the stars go bright Heat of the night, heat of the night We dance on the edge till morning light (heat of the night)
