[Verse] City hum's a low murmur, midnight on the rise Neon shadows flicker under smoky skies Breathin' in the tension, let the night unwind Got one perfect groove, gonna ease my mind [Pre-Chorus] Fingers on the fretboard, pulse begins to slide Feel that bassline thumpin', takin' me inside [Chorus] Slip away, slip away, with that bass and brass One sweet hit, let the stress just pass In the groove, in the groove, where the cool lights shine Late-night flavor, got me feelin’ fine [Verse] Whispers in the alley, footsteps sync with time Saxophone’s callin', smooth and so divine Every note’s a secret, every beat’s a friend In this smoky moment, let the music mend [Pre-Chorus] Cruisin’ through the rhythm, heartbeat steady and slow That brass hit’s a lightning, watch it steal the show [Chorus] Slip away, slip away, with that bass and brass One sweet hit, let the stress just pass In the groove, in the groove, where the cool lights shine Late-night flavor, got me feelin’ fine [Bridge] Close your eyes, drift and sway Let that rhythm lead the way No worries holding tight Just the funk in the night [Chorus] Slip away, slip away, with that bass and brass One sweet hit, let the stress just pass In the groove, in the groove, where the cool lights shine Late-night flavor, got me feelin’ fine [Outro] Slip away… slip away… One sweet hit to chase the day Slip away… slip away… In the groove, I’m here to stay
