[Verse] Clock hits six, I’m just back home Keys in the door, ain’t feelin’ alone Bills on the table, but I made that call Weekend rent’s paid, no shadows on the wall [Pre-Chorus] Got that smoky light, sliding through the blinds Room’s humming low, peace is what I find [Chorus] Now the lights can stay on, baby don’t you run We got the night on our side, till the morning sun No more counting pennies, no more fading dawn With the weekend rent paid, now the lights can stay on [Verse] Pour me something smooth, let the record play Slow groove whispers in the heat of the day No rush, no clock, no deadlines to fight Just this velvet vibe wrapping up the night [Pre-Chorus] Got that smoky light, sliding through the blinds Room’s humming low, peace is what I find [Chorus] Now the lights can stay on, baby don’t you run We got the night on our side, till the morning sun No more counting pennies, no more fading dawn With the weekend rent paid, now the lights can stay on [Bridge] Let the city fade, we’re in our own space Every worry’s gone without a trace Funk in my bones, it’s a quiet parade Lit up and alive ‘cause the rent is paid [Chorus] Now the lights can stay on, baby don’t you run We got the night on our side, till the morning sun No more counting pennies, no more fading dawn With the weekend rent paid, now the lights can stay on [Chorus] Now the lights can stay on, baby don’t you run We got the night on our side, till the morning sun No more counting pennies, no more fading dawn With the weekend rent paid, now the lights can stay on [Outro] Yeah, the lights stay on… the lights stay on… With the weekend rent paid, now the lights can stay on.
